Ah yes, another one down. 
Just finished this one up about an hour ago!
Specs:
-RX10D Cobalt Blue Swirl body
-DKMG reverse headstock neck, cut to 22 frets, finish removed and tung oiled
-EMG 81/85 (I like the 81 in the bridge so bite me
)
-2006 JT580LP (thanks rjohnstone!)
The neck came from my DKMG... the back of it needed to be refinished, and Ive got a brand new DKMG neck sitting in a box, so I figured the old one would be great for this project. Ive never had an oiled neck so I figured Id give it a shot and see how I liked it... so far so good!
This time, I only took .7" off of the heel as opposed to the .75" off of the last project you all remember. I did this so it fit the pocket even better, and I could compensate for the .05" with the bridge intonation. As you can see, the heel fits the pocket great, and intonation is purrrrfect! I took alot of time to fine tune the little details... smoothed out the binding edges, finished the back of the neck up to 2000 grit before oiling... and it really paid off, the guitar basically plays itself and the pinch harmonics are insane! I picked up the body on ebay, but when it got here there was a small ding next to the bridge from shipping.
Everything on the guitar (aside from the bridge) are parts I had laying around... instead of selling off parts, I figured why not build another one?
The batterys are attached to the cover via double sided tape... figured this was a great way to save space in the cavity, and get the 18volts that I wanted. Keeps the wiring nice and neat, just how I like it.
Now on to the pics! Let me know what ya think!

. Maybe you could try that steel wool & vinegar trick? Btw, aren't necks on DKMG (and other imports) oiled originally?
