Agreed! White binding and new paint condition. So I decided to get the Spitfire no relic w/ white borders to match

Looks super classy. You mentioned that you're going with Lollar JM pickups. How are you having them wound? His standard spec, or something different?

Black with white binding and tortoise shell. Very fine combination.

Just the standard. Wasn’t my first choice, but the builder highly recommended them.

A couple more pics. Neck is being worked on currently. Clear coat and tinting remains. After that, it should all be assembled quickly...
