KNOOOOOOOOOBZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!

I finally get them, it was a bit of a journey :D .
The knobs aren't in the same shade of red, but it still looks good, I think...

The guitar is completed, and she really is awesome.
I'll try to record some pickups comparison when I'll get the Mustang done.

Pics now:

With another setting for a different light, and shade (I definitly can't catch that red on a photo):

And closer now:

Ok then,
Thanks for watching ;)

Looks awesome. Where did you get the knobs? I'm waiting for my 76 MM to come home from the paint guy. It's also Dakota red but with a matching headstock 8)

Thanks P!!!
I'm glad you like it, your opinion is important to me somehow...because the body was the foundation of the whole guitar afterall ;) !!!

Looks nice! I like the contrast with the white pickup covers.

What lipstick is that? Did it come with top mount stuff or did you have to fab something?

I would have done a tremolo, but still super cool.
