Looking great! So is “Black Metallic” by Catherine Wheel the first song you’ll be playing on it when it’s done? ;D
It's the color of your skiiiiiin.....

Got the tuners installed and the neck mounted. I just need a few more pickup screws to have it ready for strings. :D

Love this. Such a great band.

Very awesome JM too! I am also working on an MJT build at the moment.

Got the guard mounted and the pickups are mostly mounted. I have pickup screws coming in because I only had four. I like the aluminum guard with the black body. :D

This is looking smashing - and I dislike black guitars! :o Only thing I’d do differently (if it were mine!) is put black reflector volume/tone knobs on. Nice work, man!
