It looks great, the finish looks amazing. I assume you painted that yourself? I wish I had the tools and skills to pull off such nice work. I have a few project bodies I haven't touched especially after reading the reviews of the rattle can jobs.Just one more guitar!

The only part of this guitar that is an OLP is the body, and I did a little more than just paint it.
When installing an OFR on these guitars, it leaves a gap behind the baseplate.
I had anticipated this and did some fabrications to avoid the gap.
I also fabricated wooded pickup shims to raise the Wolfgang pickups to proper height. And I also did away with the OLP neckplate, adding a 5th screw with ferruls.
The neck is by Frankenstraat.
Pickups are Peavey Wolfgang.
The trem, an Original Floyd w/ D-Tuna.
It plays and sounds REALLY good.
Oh yeah ... and I painted it myself.

I painted with rattlecans for years and have had lots of practice.
Yeah, I can make one look real pretty, but trust me ... those paintjobs don't look good for long and all that spraypaint will make your guitar sound like a turd.
