P. Zorito was the lister.
Yeah, that's him. I follow him on Instagram - he's great.

All set with tuners and the truss rod nut is back on. Need the string tree still and my neck plate to arrive. :D

My paint work is a bit brighter than the body, but I still feel like they look pretty good together. :)

The guard is stock. The body is a HH Squier Jazzmaster. Those are hard tail with no rhythm circuit. Alder bodies. Pretty nice and great prices. :)

P. Zorito is Brendan Cooper, and I freaking love his style.
I also love what you've done to the headstock.
So great. Dibs 8)

It is cool that a few of you know of his work. I must confess I had no clue who he is, I just really liked how the guitar looked. I am an art teacher and appreciate the response art can have. I can’t say why I liked the body, I just liked it. It inspired me to try something new with the headstock that I hadn’t done before. Great art is like that. It engages and inspires. It doesn’t always hit everyone, but if your work connects to anyone, I feel like it is successful.

hmmm, the guard is stock... but the corners are square! I'm looking to sqaure out the corners of my HH squier guard to fit covered humbuckers. Any tips? Although.. you probably bought it that way

edit: corner of the pickguard routes, which come with rounded corners

Got the guitar together. Some minor problems. The nut is total garbage. Cut poorly and bad slots. I am going to order a graphtech nut. Stringing a reverse headstock sucks balls. LOL Looks cool though. Added string trees to help the low strings. Other issue I found is the neck pickup has a bad solder or something. It is cutting out. When the nut comes, I will figure out what is up there. I need more 11 gauge strings. Here is how it is looking currently. :)
