Okay so...
Reshaped the headstock, refinished everything in seafoam green, got all of my parts. All I have left is some wiring. Have like 30ft. of cloth wiring left so it looks like thats what I'll be doing tomorrow.

Has 3 Slide Switches, a momentary push button, and a push/pull pot. Will do series/parallel, coil tap, phase in/out, mustang p'up on/off, and a killswitch.

Phone pics suck, I'll get some real ones up when completed.

You can see it laying on the ground here. The headstock isn't visible, it was pretty much a big shovel.

Ha, well I have the finished pics up there now.

I'll try to get around to taking pics of the inside and whatnot today and put them up there.
It's not beautiful though, I have to warn you. Definitely not the monsterpiece of guitars.

That's alright... what did you use to route it out? The first time I did something like that, I sat there for hours and used a dremel cuz I was so afraid that a hand router would slip and tear a huge chunk out. Now, I just use a chisel to get her started and use an MDF template that I made that has humbucker, single coil and P90-sized slots cut into it for the hand router. Makes things so fast, smooth and easy.

Well, I used a hand router, the only dremel I have access to atm broke a few weeks ago. I just kinda guessed the sizes, it already had a cutout for wiring in the middle so I just kinda expanded from there.

On the pickguard, it was already routed for a p90 so that was easy, the mustang i made a template from plexiglass and a huge router used for countertops. That was just fun. :evil:
