Very nice, Brother.  Was just wondering yesterday if you had been able to put it all together yet.  Looks like a real screamer!  Hope you have years of fun with it!

I have too many projects! Up for sale is a Maple on Mahogany Black gloss 2016 Regal body that has never been assembled.  It is a Showcase body I purchased in 2016 and never proceeded with that particular project.  The specs are shown on the attached photo.  There are no scratches or swirls...

Here's mine...

Speaking of interference, the reason I settled in on the Fender SCN's is that there's a microwave tower right across the street from the church where I play, and I've never been able to get away with using single coil pickups in that room without turning sideways.  Very annoying, but the SCN's...

I used Fender's Samarium Cobalt Noiseless (SCN) bridge and neck noiseless pickups in my walnut tele, and I couldn't be happier with them.  They're acutally stacked humbuckers in a tele package.  Very full sound.

I have been having a hard time finding a hardshell case for the 25.5" LP I built earlier this year.  What have you guys been doing for cases for this size LP?  The stock LP cases are too short, and the generic Strat and Tele cases don't have the proper support.

More pics.

Finally found the time to finish the assembly.

Here's a few more pictures:

Bought this body back in the Thanksgiving sale.  Had Warmoth make the walnut neck special.  Here are the details: Black Korina solid flat top body Clear gloss finish (by Warmoth) Walnut neck - clear gloss finish Ziricote fretboard 6150 frets Mother of Pearl dots Compound radius Standard Thin...

Great idea!  Never thought of that.  Thanks!  It'll be going on a Black Korina LP with a clear gloss finish.  Lots of black striping in it, so the black trim ring on bottom might look really good. -Kel

Does anybody have a source for tall metal chrome humbucker trim rings that are flat on top and bottom?  I can find several places that have the short rings, and there are several tall rings that are slanted, but I can't find anyone who carries what I'm needing.  Help!

Okay, now I'm confused.  Recently, I was told that I could NOT order a neck that did not require a finish and add a finished headplate.  This one obviously has an unfinished neck (rosewood) with a finished (quilt maple) headplate.  What's up with that?

I'm looking for a good source for some chrome or nickle open-back tuners for my new LP neck.  I've narrowed my choices down to Waverlys with  Butterbean knobs (StewMac) and Gotoh SE510's.  While the Waverlys are easy to find at StewMac, I'd like to find some sources for the Gotoh SE510's too. ...

I bought a new body from the Showcase during the Thanksgiving holiday sale.  The order was entered on Nov. 26, and all I was having done to it was drill the jack hole and apply a clear gloss finish.  Today, January 11, I still have no idea when it's going to ship.  Anybody else experiencing this...
