Looks like you did a damn fine job with not much to start with. Enjoy it!

[RG462]

looks great! love the gasoline/wd-40 trick, it works well. You may consider painting the headstock, and reapply that 2nd logo you got.

[Lefty Robb]

To be honest with you I kinda liked the way it looked before, all beat up and warn, like a old strat, lots of character.. But still, great job.

[kotornut]

I think it looks awesome!

Good job! The body edges look more rounded, though. Did you sand it? Or am I imagining things?

Also, is that a single ply pickguard? Would look better with B/W/B and a relocated vol knob, too.

Thanks everyone for the compliments! I haven't been foruming for awhile - life happened at me when I wasn't paying attention...

I'm still playing on this guitar, too, the evo bridge pickup cuts through nice for shows .
