The "Chunk-E-Caster" - Parts by Warmoth

Looks cool. I'm surprised you like the hotrails though, most people say they are way too muddy as a neck pickup. I guess it works better in a bolt-on than in a Soloist, though.

That said, I'm replacing it with an Air Norton-S. The hot rails was sitting around in my pup box.

Nice spalted.
Looks like another good candidate for the black hardware treatment.
Ebony neck, no fret markers...
Why don't I just let you do it.

Yea, be quiet so he can get to work!

LOL...Actually, Warmoth hasn't yet completed the finish on that spalted body yet. That was a pic they e-mailed to me. I probably won't get it for another few weeks, yet.

You are right, Spikey, black hardware and ebony fingerboard on a mahogany neck, but I am having them put in sharkfin inlays. Reversed Jackson-style headstock.

Note: I loved the tone in the lower registers, but up high it did seem a bit "ice-pickey." I changed the pots to 250k and the cap to 0.047uf. It sounds the same except the ice pick is gone! The string tree and logo are now mounted...pics to follow.

And the whole kit 'n kaboodle (sp?):
