Right now just some cheap Dragonfire Pure Vintage pickups. I must admit they dont sound bad, I may just keep them, they do the job.

Thank you, I realize relic look is not for everyone but it just seemed too easy to just make a new looking guitar. Shell Pink with clear nitro and amber nitro in the mix, all from ReRanch.

Nice job.

You're right about relics, they're not for me, but if they're right for you then go for it.

I love the colour. I like the small amount of wear, it's easy to get carried away, and ruin the look. You nailed the tint on the neck, this is a spot a lot of people fail miserably at when trying to get an aged look.And finally I love custom logos. Never been a fan of passing things off as something they aren't. Yours looks great and fits the build.

Excellent job. And it reminds me I need the weather to get better so i can finish my project(s)

Thanks guys, nitro is still too fresh to get some weather checking on it but maybe in about a year I'll try again and see if it breaks.
And now, must make room on the rack and move on to next project. :)
