Slight aging to reflect the above guitars, I asked for a slight bit more on the forearm ledge, other than that it's getting close

I sold my squire jag and some other bits to get the money together, I've been impressed by mjt's stuff before but always had bodies and the guitar never felt 100% because the neck didnt't match the feel of the body. This time I thought I would try all the parts together

Wear marks finished, now they are going to age/check the finish and chips and should be close to done.

Thankfully this was paid before losing my job, could have made for an awkward conversation were it not, now I will have time to finesse the body when it gets in

I was hoping for a better shot but no luck' will grab you some high res ones when it gets in

Almost there, this one needs some tweaking before it's done, but it's coming together

Progress of the slowest kind, routs are *just* too shallow so I will have to go in and make some room, but that's a Monday problem
