The aim was to borrow bits from fenders I like and make them into one, and stick a pedal inside.

Even with no plan that is a very coo tail piece! I love the simplicity in both the wood and metal.

been working on this badly beaten (hack job relic attempt) tele copy a friend gave me for helping him with his first bass build. decided to turn it into a thinline, since i've never owned a semi-hollow... drilled for the bridge, sanded and sealed since the last photo was taken. priming tonight, and STILL waiting for the reranch to ship my burgundy mist metallic. argh! :wacko:

oh yeah, almost forgot... this just came off of the workbench. jag inspired tattoo machine footswitch. all switches and knob are functional. first slider is a battery on/off for the LED, second allows the machine to run constantly, without the momentary switch being depressed, and the knob brightens/dims the LED. yeah, i'm a dork with too much free time on my hands sometimes. big question is... red, or white pearl? i can't decide.
