It gives me great pleasure to post this beauty. Many of you have given me great advice on the wiring among other things and I thank all of you. Once again Gino"The Butcher" Nardo ( this guy is a wild man...) of Custom Paint and detail here in Cleveland has gone out of his way. He matched the paint of of the old Gulf racing scheme,. And Gino went all out on the acrylic and routing. Ths guy does awesome work.
The pickups are Atomic II in the bridge ( this pickup sounds great I will have to get some more of these for my next set of projects) and a Tex-Mex in the neck. New chrome oval tuners, custom paint , a 1968 mercury Cyclone mounted in acrylic flush with the body. I put her back together tuned her up and she sounds unbelievable.

Awesome guitar BastardN. Great work. Hope it plays as good as it looks.

But now that you are finished with that project maybe you can help me with mine. It's an Ash body with the beginnings of a lacquer finish. It needs a tremelo. I don't like the hardtail. So it needs to be routed for that. It sounds very bright and alive compared to my Squier. The Ducbucker sounds very clean but I like the hot rail in the middle for power.
