I got a Peavey neck for my Jazzy project but decided to us a WD neck instead. Since I had this neck around I looked for another MJT body to put it on and saw a silverburst pop up. It is on the way. In the meantime I am taking the neck finish off because it had dings and scratches. I will do my typical dye and stain job to get a more discolored/worn look that I like to do and then I will wipe on clear to it. Here is the neck sanded up.

I am a Tool/Adam Jones fan so I came up with a decal to go with that. I am going to put Tex Mex pickups in the neck and middle and bridge will be a Hotrail pickup. Black knobs, guard, and pickup covers.

I really like that silverburst. it manages to be dramatic and subtle at the same time.

The body came and the neck almost fits perfectly. I just need to sand a little to get it in there. I love the colors coming together. I did go ahead and oil the fretboard.

That looks so mean and raging... like it's going to unleash The Grudge.
As both silverburst and Tool fan: I love it.

I am also both a silver burst and Tool fan. This is looking great so far. I didn't even realize MJT did silverbursts. This is dangerous knowledge.

Internal wiring is all done. I just need a tremolo/claw and the jack cup to get the body finished. Neck is done aside from tuners. Coming together.

very cool.
i'm usually not excited about strats, but that finish is great.
can't wait to see it all together
