That does look pretty smart.

Tease. When is it going to be finished?

When I have the cash for Novak pickups. Haha

Mine looks almost identical. I had a tough time with the the rotary switch, so I did a workaround.

You built one or have an original?

So this happened... I got my hands on a vintage xii/maverick/custom guard and I am now torn between what guard to use. Whatever one I don't use will go on my xii that I am building and will also be in the same exact sunburst. Spitfire guard on top. Vintage on bottom.

And if anyone was wondering what a Maverick would look like with white pickup covers... weird.

I guess I should update this thread. All done! Novaks installed and everything works and plays great.

What does it sound like?

Very nice!

Nice work on those inlays. If you do it anything like me, it's a looonnggg, ssllloooowwww. tedious process. Yours came out real good.
I gotta say that I love that neck jig. I have something similar that I build, but not as nice as yours. I would love to know more about it, and maybe watch a video about how it works.

It is so cool to have fellow builders out there to learn from and share info with.

I'm sorry if I missed it, but what did you use for clear finish? Is that a lacquer or polyurethane? After the last three builds I'm finishing up right now, I don't think I'll ever do lacquer again. Can't believe how long it has taken to harden. The covers I did in poly were dry in a week or so.
