Just got the call that my baby is done 8)

So here's a quick list of what I had done and quick pic of her on her ride back home :mrgreen:


-New custom built and cut solid rosewood pickguard (already seen pics of how this turned out and it is beautiful - the wood grain is incredible).

-I have had the pickup selector on the bottom horn moved to where the input jack is. So it will be volume, tone and then the pickup selector. And I have had this installed at an angle so that it is an easy and clean swipe as I drop my hand down towards it.

-Since the pickup selector is now where the input jack was I am having a Strat style input jack put in.

-All of the pots and capacitors have been upgraded.

-And last but not least they are installing some nice graphite saddles and setup for 10's.

All of my mods are usually done by John Brown from Brown's Guitar Factory. It's the same John Brown that writes for Premier Guitar Magazine. He's unbelievable!! I'm 40 now and he's been working on my guitar since my last few years of high school. So you'd have to say I'm pretty happy with the work he does :)

Thanks for the comments and compliments. REALLY happy with how this one turned out!

That is beautiful!

I love the fact that it's still looks stock at first glance, but upon closer notice, it's totally unique...great job!

That was the GOAL :!:

I had a number of ideas and what you're seeing is the final product. I still wanted it to look like it could have come off of the Fender line :D

Very happy indeed :mrgreen:
