The wood grain is very nice. Did you ever consider putting on a "Mary Kaye" type of white blond see-thru finish? That would have really made it a "blondie."

I know, but the grain is so nice that decided to leave it natural (with honey). While I agree that a true "blondie" could be the "white mary kay", I beleive mine is definentely a blonde too, the most gorgeous one!, as a metaphor in humans, in women, a "white mary kay" would be one of those anglo saxon beautiful blond almost white haired blue eyed kind of viking princess, and my "blonde" would have green eyes, darkers skin, and haylike hair, a more "latin" blonde princess, if u like.

cheers!!

Well first of all, that's a beautiful guitar! Congratulations!
And second of all, I too wire bridge pickup to the bottom tone control. The middle pickup is on full now, for it is not connected to the tone any more. But, now I am thinking about wiring the middle pickup back, not disconnecting the bridge. Thus having both, the middle and bridge wired to one tone control, even though I don't use the middle as much, and it's not as bright as the bridge.
So, my question is, is your middle pickup completely disconnected or is it still connected together with the bridge?

PS I think I'll leave only the bridge connected, but I am curious about what you guys think about it.
Thanks.

Goran

PS PS Wow, there's a lot of "the bridge" and "the middle" in the text above. English is not my native language or mother tongue. Sorry!

Close. The URL you tried to use was not an image (it's the URL of a web page). The URL of the image I displayed above is http://www.gorilarex.com/strat-1979/kit.jpg
