Ordered some normal gold Gibson knobs for it and the plate and pots. Also got some normal red three way sliders for it. Should have it put together (aside from neck) when those parts arrive.

Normal.

Save for the sanded spots, i like the finish.

That's pretty normal for me. :w00t:

I didn't mean the roundover. I meant the actual outline of the bottom arm. It looks heaps fatter.
I've got the same impression..
After watching the body with the pickguard on it seems to me that the internal cutaway of the lower horn is less deeper than the stardard jagstang's. Chris, if you have a spare on available, can you try a mustang pickguard? I kinda have the feeling that the lower horn has been shaped with that in mind :ph34r:

Your projects are always intriguing, please never stop 8)

I got a short scale neck for the body. I have done a lot of fancy headstocks.... Matching, non-matching... gold ink... silver ink... but this guitar needed just a normal headstock logo, so here is what I came up with. Nothing fancy. Just normal.

The mustang pickguard looks perfectly centred but I got to admit that you did the right choice with the leopard one, it came out great!!

You know how some things are so ugly they're good? This one is so weird that it's normal. I love it. I shouldn't love any of it but I love all of it.

I poured some Mt. Dew on the curb for it and it's other fallen homies.

Got all the other parts and wired it up. As you can see it turned out very normal. Normal red sliders. Normal gold knobs that go to eleven as normal.

Knobs that go to 11 are a must!

I cannot stand the look of Jag-stangs, they just seem really out of proportion. This thing, though, defies a logic and looks incredible..err, normal. Yea, definitely normal.
