that could be an option.
it just really needs a trem to end up in my top 3

updates!
so i've given up on the Trem plan
and i got bored of the butterscotch finish on the front
the guitar had an accident involving my cab at the end of a gig back on aug 1st..
so i had to repair a couple body cracks.
and as i had it apart anyways..
i figured, fuck it, i'm never selling this thing. let's just do a re-fin on it.
pulled apart
first spray
finished headstock
just putting the final coat of white on the body now, before i move onto the clearcoat. (i may not do a clear coat.. as i'm not a fan of shiny guitars..)

oddly i didn't burn my hand on the soldering gun this time.
opted against the clear coats. depending upon how long i want to rock this finish.
before and after shots.

Really nice, like the permanent marker 'decals'.

just watched it may get loud last night, it had jimmy page playing a tele with a JM trem and bigsby plate, looked quite good. iirc you can get the plate for about $20, a cij trem for 30-40, then you just have to track down a bridge.

the funny thing is i have a spare mustang bridge at the moment.. well or a spare tune-o-matic as i'm not sure what one i will eventually use on that jazzblaster body i bought from you.

dew it, worst case if you don't use the trem, you just have more shiny shit on your guitar, it's win win

oil paint Sharpie pens are pretty much the best thing ever.
