Since no one in my immediate vicinity gives a crap about my projects or guitars in general, I figured I'd share with a bunch of strangers on the Internet, LOL! 
Anyway, here's a before and after pic of the DK2FS I started working on Friday night;
The original owner made a poor attempt at painting it black by using a too-rough grade sandpaper which left deep sand scratches in the surface (and in the process ruined a very nice trans red finish
). So far, I've sanded the body smooth, filled the control holes with resin, and beveled the cutaways. The next step is to re-drill/cut the control holes further away from the bridge/humbucker (going with a volume/tone/3-way blade set up). I also plan to cut out a single coil-shaped wooden block so I can eliminate the middle pickup (don't use them, plus I always hit them with my pick). After that, it's paint time... MOPAR lime green, FTW! 
Got a DKMG neck and black hardware to go on it afterwards...
I've also been working on a regular DK2 body alongside this one which is at the same stage of near-completion. Gonna eliminate the middle pickup on that one too, but I'm going with a single volume/3-way toggle set up. That one's getting painted MOPAR 'Furious Fuschia' ("Not that there's anything wrong with that!!!"
) Putting black hardware and a KS2 neck on that one. Hopefully all goes well over the next couple of days and I can order the paint before the weekend arrives.
Anyway, thanks for reading. Cheers...
