This one is basically done.
Turned out really well. Only thing to fix is middle is out of phase. I might leave it like that since it gives an interesting third sound. Other issue is my neck pickup screw holes are stripping out. I need to tooth pick them or some wood glue to fill them a bit so the screws grab better. Sounds great and I am happy with the looks. This is the first time I used 12's. Those are pretty stiff. Kinda cool though. I used a .25 degree shim, but the bridge is still barely off the body. Crazy!

LOL Seemed to be a fitting idea for the project.
Here is a sound demo.

What pickups are they? What is the plan with the other body? Do you have more stickers to do a second version? :O

The bridge is a Revel humbucker. The neck pickup is a low priced one I got off eBay.
I have more stickers. Not sure what I want to do yet. The clear has been an ordeal with that one….

I fixed the mounting of the neck pickup. I decided to leave the out of phase middle for a different sound option. I also changed the .25 shim to a .5. The action is much nicer now. I kinda like the 12's. I don't do string bends or things like that. I like the stiffer string feel.
As far as my first blue body, I did three coats of minwax poly an hour apart as per the instructions on the can. Just letting that cure and dry and then it will get stickers. Good thing I have a ton of stickers. LOL These are fun. I have a set of P90 Jazzy pickups coming in for that one. Since they have two wires like normal Jazzies, I am going to do a series switch.

Thanks! I am excited about the other body. I don't want to mess with the body until the clear is cured.
It will get there.

Body two is all done.
It took me forever on this one. LOL The p90's sound really good. I am actually surprised on this one because every p90 I have tried has been sort of meh to me. Here are pictures.
