What the hell is wrong with the pickgaurd. I'm seriously doubting your guitar building abilities. You are obviously a hack and very un helpful.

Seriously though, thanks for posting the pics and compiling info for the wiki, just in time to help me with my project

Aug rocks

haha.. Cheers. looks sweet now.

Is that your writing saying "fender bronco"? You have a cool hand if so - everything I write looks like crushed spiders.

Yeah, Aug has some penmanship skills to boot.

Nice job countersinking those screw holes to let the router pass.

thanks, everyone.

UPDATE. BTW, I had to free hand route the pup routes. grrr.

That's beautiful, Aug. I'm quite in awe of you, and others with the skillz to make these wonderful guitars. Kudos!

Fender should be shitting themselves.

Looks amazing! I ordered both parchment and mint pickguard material and we'll see which one looks best up agains the desert sands. I really love this guitar already. Can't wait to rock it out.

Amazing isn't it? Someone who can build like that *and* be such a drunkard...boggles the mind.

No, and I'll tell ya why. I don't like things that are too flashy. I like just a little flash. I figured this body shape is wild enough as it is and would way too much if it was a bright color. I'm not a lead player and I mostly play country. I think I would look ridiculous stumming a chord on a metal guitar. Did I over explain that enough?

in my opinion olympic white with a brown tortoise pickguard would be uber sexy and not flashy what so ever.

Man that looks so good! The wood between the different pickup routes are tiny!

What pickups are you having put in dodgedartdave? Sorry if I missed it.

Great work as ever Aug!
This looks really interesting, look forward to the finished product.
