My replica is done too, what did you use for the pickup selector? Mine is kinda crappy.

many years after (2012), i'm still kicking myself for not buying OSGer's "prospect" black modded XII with humbuckers. :fp:

...he sold it for $1500 :'(
And I still miss it!

I needed to sell it to pay for school. I remember I had a really hard time finding a buyer! My asking price was $1800 for months - which was an insanely low. It was even consigned to a big dealer in NY and they couldn't sell it. That guitar was amazing.

I don't think $1500 was that low in 2012 for a heavily modded (refin, hole cut in pickguard for humbucker) XII.

True. Offsets were popular then but not overly trendy like the past few years.
