God damn that's nice. My only complaint is perhaps the next looks too new and glossy compared to the body and with the black binding looks a bit seperated, but that'll wear in soon enough. One of the nicest parts guitars I've seen.

the neck is tricky to photograph, it keeps showing up much lighter than in person. i have to get the tele bridge plate to stop looking so new, it really stands out against the vintage trem.
btw, what is THE tele bridge pickup that i should get from GFS?

That pickguard is fantastic mate.
I hear good stuff about the GFS Fatbody (there is an overwound 10k version too if that's your thing):

paul cut me a good deal on this while he finishes up my jazzmasters, couldn't pass up the chance at a starblaster for a decent price. up in the air as to whether i should go with novak regular hb sized wide rangers or these...
i have a d&b neck for it, likely colour of choice would be charcoal frost metallic.

paul is also working on this for me...
B&B neck which will get a black headstock (truss rod adjuster at the neck, have to hide that), custom gold guard by ben (theworkoffire) is on the next round that he does (mustang switches instead of rhythm circuit), and tv jones t-armond pickups in JM covers
also getting it back routed to have an additional tone and volume that will be in parallel to the ones on the guard (shifting them down to the input jack and tone hole)

Give me a shout about the guard if you want it sooner rather than later - I'm doing a batch next week, hopefully.

i'm confused about what needs to be done to this...

minor tweaks before it ships up from oregon, strap button placement, an odd screw here and there, etc.
then when it gets here, i can throw on the knobs and rock out.

it is going to be gnarly
hope the lady friend lets you crank up the volume and rock it out
