Yeah, we traded guitars years ago, so I had no worries about buying or trading or anything with Rick. I know personally he is very much a man of his word and like me he takes shipping and packing stuff very seriously!( liked we talked about about you have to pack stuff for war) and he did and sent pic's along the way. Thanks Razor!
The 275 body is pretty much mint, I could simply buff it and it would be mint. I have a couple of j90's but I'm not gonna put one in it as it sounds great as is.

Generally takes me a few days to get and keep this setup. I had the neck for a day before the body arrived. I set the relief without the body to what I would expect it to be in order to get the action I would expect. The pick is one mil, I have gauges but this is just less of a hassle. The guitar is tilted and it will stay there upside down but those pictures are hard to take.. Just a FYI this neck has one of the Thickest slabs of ebony I've seen

Yeah... that was the Primer Scream neck I rescued a few years back. Headstock was completely snapped off.
It was a clean break, so the repair was pretty simple. One pin to keep it aligned and then a healthy dose of Titebond II. Clamped and left to cure fro a month.
Only issues is I installed the lock nut a week or two after I glued it. Didn't want to lose it as it was the nut that originally came with the neck. Guess the glue inside was not fully cured as the screws are now pretty much glued in.

You did a great job too. I mean I'm going to do some cosmetics to it but as far as holding and not worrying about a re-break.. na a 250 pds indicator test and only neck movement

Awesome! I would leave as is. This guitar has a story.
