The clear pickguard pieces are done being backsprayed and cleared. They look really cool. The backspray on the clear material gives it a cool 3D look.

I have been spraying the white body with satin clear. Almost done. Since I am not going to wetsand it, I am only going to put four coats on it. It doesn't need to be super thick and if it wears quicker, I am ok with that.

Looks great. I do like that back sprayed PG.

Looking very cool (...icy) and neat! You really have a knack for picking on potentially cool designs that got dodgy headstocks & hardware from the the manufacturers and making them look a lot better.

Thanks! Peavey's headstock shape is really nice. It works well like Fender's but has points that fit pointy guitars.

Got some of the work done today. Wires are going through for the toggle. I got the pickups mounted. I am using the stock pickups from my Yamaha SG. Bridge, neck, and ferrules are on also. Just need pots, knobs, jack with plate, and switch.

Incredibly boss. I thought this was the coolest body style on Earth when I was 12. I still think it's really cool.

Oh man. I love that cheesy little plate behind the bridge. Icemans (Icemen?) look wrong without it.
Looking forward to seeing it completed, and maybe it'll be an opportunity to snap a family picture with all'em cool gueetars of yours?
