You couldn't handle a pic of the back...It's like being 6 inches from the sun...  :glasses9:

Actually it's not done yet... :toothy11:
 
so awesome!!  :headbang: how do those pickups sound? Love the hex polepieces, reminds me of a SD invader.

Secret to taking photos of highly reflective surfaces is 1) get the light off camera, 2) make the light as fantabulously freaking huge as possible, and as close to the object being photographed as possible without getting in the picture. Fortunately the ceiling is usually flat and white and usually no more than 4-15 feet away.  Bounce baby bounce!
 
Very sharp! I'm envious. How's it sound? What are you attaching the strap to?
 
Thanks guys, I haven't plugged it in just yet. I need to go get a regular jack, all I have are stereo jacks. And I've got to get some longer screws for the trem claw.
 
You can use a stereo jack. Just ignore the "ring" tab, and use the "tip" and "Sleeve" tabs like you'd normally do.

Sound is phenomenal, clean, crisp, quiet(no annoying hum). Ken set it up with master volume and split tones (one for bridge only) and a 5 way switch. I still have to give it a full range test, so far only tested it on a clean channel.

And the button heads were something I asked Ken to do, from which I got the idea from the SD invader I have in another guitar... :icon_biggrin:
 
Also not sure what Stubhead was using for pups, but I have no "Ice Pick" issuses with this one. Maybe it's just inherent in the Tele shape.. :dontknow:
