i sling it pretty low, too, cos i always have. iam tOTalLy ME-TAL.


i gotta go w/ robert here. you need to add some hardware before you say that pots and pups make it jag-esque. else, it's basically a cyclone/bronco hybrid. cool nonetheless, but we're all about truth in advertising around here.

will the jaguar pups with the claws fit in the pickguard routes ?

yes, aug and i designed it to fit jag pickups with the claws. they're a little snug, but they fit.

haha, fair enough. it's gonna be rad whatever you call it.

i still refer to it as the bronco. i was just worried that i'd post it here and people would say:

hey that's not a bronco! it has jaguar pickups in it!

so, i thought of something quick and, as usual, it backfired.

ok, i finally got the finish on the bronco. it didn't turn out so great. actually it was perfect this morning, but i thought it couldn't hurt to put one more coat of clear on it. i was so wrong. first, it got lint and cat hair stuck in the finish, then i accidently touched part of it and completely messed up the finish in one spot. then i sanded down the messed up part, but it went through to the wood. i'm all out of color coat, so i'm just not gonna bother getting a whole new can just to touch up one little spot. i've spent too much time on it, and i really just want to play it. maybe some day i'll get it done right, but for now i'm just gonna leave it. i guess it's not too bad for my first time finishing a guitar.
here are some pictures for you guys to enjoy. when i get home, i'll put the whole thing together and put up some more pictures.

That looks great! What happened in the nasty spot? Sand through?

yeah...

I've had that happen on a few guitars. it sucks.

The bronco is now complete. i'd like to thank aug for the pickguard and cleaning up the routes. here are the final pictures:
