Ah ok cool!

Thanks for all the updates, looking forward to seeing the finished product. i hope your colour selection gets as close to the original as possible.

This may sound crazy, but Im thinking a powder bardie pink would be nice.
No one has made me any offers yet. and its a powerhouse. I like the purple but if Im going to keep it, I might as well make this one just as original as the original. feel free to tell me what you think!
and an update, the pickguard from pickguard paradise should be here on thursday. So we should be pumping this thing through the ADA by Friday night!
Thanks!

Just to let you all know I am going ahead with the purple. I am getting married in May and I need to save some money to take my girl on a honeymoon. If you are at all interested please feel free to either ask me some questions or even make me an offer. I will for sure have this guitar ready to ship by Feb. 10th. Also if anyone is interested in the axe but want a different color let me know. Its not too late! Thanks!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to keep you up to date on the guitar. After letting a few locals put their hands on the beast and I have decided to inlay some dots on the side of the neck. still leaving the face clean ebony. I used 1mm dots, except I used 2mm dots at the 12 (Pictured below)
Other than that, I am still waiting on Pickguard Paradise.
I have someone mighty interested in this guitar, it will sport the original pickup configuration, switch and knob. but it might be "Nintendo" colors, 2 tone grey with black and a red logo.. tell me what you think

Good stuff, hope to see some more pics of this thing painted soon too!

What price are you looking at getting for this?

CaptainEO · #24 01-31-2008, 09:35 PM

Well this is what I have in it..
PGM30 - $400
Pickups - $100
Pickguard - $100
Bridge + nut - $200
Ebony and C.F. - $75
Custom Paint - $350
Frets + PLEK - $300
Custom Logos - $15
40 + Hours of work..

$1540 is what I have into it. I would take $1650 Plus a gig bag and shipping. It might come out to $1800 after everything. Its a killer axe, but like I said Im getting married and I could use the dough for my girl. so if anyone is interested let me know!

a quick update.. UPS sucks! I hope they go out of Biz, I dont know if its just me but they never get anything right. Hopefully I get the pickguard tomorrow night so I can do the work I need to, so I can get it into finish on sat. morning. otherwise its another week.. Im tired of waiting!!

Sorry for the delay! Here are some picks of the pickups mounted on the pickguard. I had to make a ton of corrections on the guard because pickguard paradise is a slack@ss hack shop that screws people. If I didn't order something I knew I was going to have to work on I would have been up a creek without a paddle because their product is dung! If you ask me they charge too much for crap! aside from the bull!@#$ crap work, after UPS was a week late they wouldn't refund my shipping money.. if anyone needs a custom guard I will make it for half the price!
enjoy the pics!

P.S. Maybe P.P. would do better work if they knew what a center line was..

Is that a hole in the side of the fret board near the 12 fret?

A stellar endorsement.

Nice axe, though!
