dude awesome! those are sick. how's the neck?
parts may be tough as they don't get parted out too often.

Neck's good but does feel a little cheap

Pics please, these guitars are neat little gems. They came out with a reissue a little while ago but with how small they are(thin bodies) I don't think spending $800 on a nice one is worth it. What parts DO you have? The trem might be a mess to find depending on what's on eBay, GFS used to sell a trem much like the one found on old Harmony's/Silvertone but I don't think they do anymore. The pick ups are the old gold foil ones and everything else can be retrofitted or made. This can be a great project but I wouldn't spend too much.

I don't currently have the guitar on me right now, so no pics.

Is it one of the ones with the little gold moustaches on the pickups? Those are cute.
