Ordered a pickguard from Dragonfire, because the white pearl was starting to yellow real bad, and looked tacky.

Drilled some holes, installed it, trimmed around the neck pocket(wasn't too much to take off):

After getting my last Charvel So Cal mutt, switching out the neck for the one from my San Dimas, I now had a brand new neck going spare, and an old San Dimas body (which i've sanded back to bare wood and oiled, but kinda given up on...)
The obvious solution was to put the new neck on my San...
This is really an 'NBD' I guess (new body day) but I'll get to that in a moment...
Everyone's favourite partscaster enthusiast Cameron hooked a brother up with this beast. This started out as a whimsical and opportunist purchase but has turned out to be my main player.
I started mocking it up...
This is a Charvel mutt. The body is a Mexico San Dimas Hartail. Its loaded with a JB in the bridge and a Duncan Stack in the neck.
The neck is an old Japanese Model 1a Neck. The ear under the Low E tuner has been repaired and the fretboard has been re-glued on. I have had it for a couple...

So I was talking to the guy I got my San Dimas Jackson Dinky from the other day and I told him that I was looking for a H/s to use with this blues gig I'm involved in. the other band members don't want me to use any pointy head stocks so my Jacksons are all out. He had this mutt he put together...
So I've had most of the parts for this kicking around for a while, and just needed the neck. I found a really, really resonant mexi strat at a pawnshop for cheap a few years back, but the neck was thrashed, and my attempts at leveling it were futile. Every time I'd level the board, it would just...

So as many of you know I just got back to school in Laramie, I decided to do a quick pawnshop check at all the places in town just to see if there was anything interested or worthwhile to pick up. And of course there was pretty much nothing. I get to the smallest and dinkiest of all the pawn...
This thing is impossible to photograph. It looks a bit more orange than it really is - the color is more like an old penny. Metallic Brazen Orange (Mopar paint) with a black burst, and the fade-in from the black to the orange just doesn't want to come out in pics. It's also overcast today, which...

I LOVE that guitar so I figured I'd build my own. :D

Het guys, just signed up after Drew made a shameless plug on another bbs he hangs at.;)
A little about me.
I'm a crotchety old bloke heading rapidly towards fifty. Been a luthier for thirty years most of that full time. I've built and repaired just about every kind of box out there and am...
