TGS,

Take your time with it. Can't wait to see and hear the finished product. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.

Sounds cool. I'm a bit lazy and didn't read all those pages. Especially ones with longer posts.

Wishing the best.

My final shipment of parts came today! Just a couple of small things, some plastic knobs and a jack plate. So I officially have all the parts I need now. It's still just a matter of when I can pick the body an neck up after finishing. I haven't asked about it yet since I want it to have plenty of time to set correctly, but I'm hoping it'll be done this week or next so I can play for an important show I have coming up. :)

I know, I can hardly believe it either. I guess I hadn't anticipated how much actually goes into making something like this happen. But it's been a lot of fun. :)

I think I finally decided what to do as far as the decals go. After looking over ebay I think I want to go with these guys.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Guitar-Headstock-Waterslide-Decal-for-6-inline-/190481757401?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2c5998f4d9

Still classic Fender looking, but also still custom. Now it's just a matter of figuring out what I'd like it to say. Any ideas?

Also, there's another finishing touch that I'm working on right now... But it's a surprise, so you won't be able to see it until it's finished. ;)

OK, I think I've got it!

First off, style A. I like the others, but style A lets me get more text in.

1. Becks (manufacturer's name, and my real life nick name that most people call me instead of Rebecca)
2. Forum Custom (model name, I tried Lounge-O-Caster but it was several letters too long)
3. International Project Guitar (subtext under the manufacturer and model names)
I thought of putting "Made in U.S.A." or something like that, but it was really a project that extended beyond the borders of this country.
4. And instead of "Original Contoured Body" it will read "Fender Lounge Forums".

Sound good?

Nice find on the decals, classic fender look. Does "Becks-Caster" fit the letter count?

How long 'til pictures?

Well, here we are 11 business days later and they finally came! They're the final piece of the puzzle and one of a few parts shipped from across the pond in Great Britain. I'll get some pictures up, just give me a few minutes...

Here they are!

I'm going to mail them off to the luthier tomorrow since I won't have time to drive there. It's the home stretch as far as finishing the parts go, and it's just starting to actually sink in that it's reality. I really can't wait! :D

(EDIT: I had to use thumbnails instead of full size pictures. Click the pictures to view them in a larger size.)
