Yessssssss. I never really liked the dark blue color. I mean, it's a cool color, but it's not really my deal.

You are the king of project guitars! If I came into a bunch of money my next one would be a custom Yamaha SG2. :ph34r:

Thanks! My collection is getting smaller and er... more refined or something? It's really all about my Jaguar, but these project guitars are so cool to plan out and get made.

It's taking a while for the final coats to go on and apparently the old decals I provided are problematic, but hopefully it will come together and get finished this month.

I was crying out for the change of controls. The thing I loved about it was the Jag-like plates and controls :)

Well, it took way longer than I could have imagined, but I finally got my hybrid (hybird?) back.

Sounds like a Jazzmaster as best as I can remember (it's been a while since I've owned one).

Wow! That looks way better than I thought it would (I like my Firebirds reversed normally...and don‘t own one)
I’m gonna begin my first mashup project soon! (well, second if you count the Customesque Telemaster).
You know, all the dead sexy Fenders and Custom shop things on here are nice and all... but it‘s the mods and projects - from vision to execution that make this place so enjoyable and inspiring for me! :-*

I might've kept the bridge pickup for variety, but the look is 100% improved. The color is pretty much the same sage as my stock MIM Jaguar bass. Stunning, congrats
