CruzinLow makes it in as entrant #2! Best of luck!

Keep 'em coming! Noobs and regulars all welcome! Don't forget to check out the instructions and entry requirements at the start of the thread.
 
Whoa, that's a fine looking Velocity.  Those angled pups make the whole thing look like a slick, futuristic axe.  Nice choices all around!  Things just got interesting here.

Big thanks to the big "W" for letting me order off the menu for those angled pickups

The 12th-fret inlay's a nice touch, also.

Indeed! Is that a custom job done by you or something you had Warmoth do for you, Wolfie351?

At the risk of losing a few votes, it's just an overlay.  All my newer builds are with black fretboards, just trying to get a vibe to see how I like the look of the 12th fret inlay for the next one.
 
I'm a big fan of blank, black fretboards, too. But, I could see a 12th fret inlay. It looks good on yours, and it's a nice landmark. I have a blank curly Maple neck I had Great Ape burn a 12th fret marker into.
 
This is a tough one. I think I need to mull this over for a day or so. Got to think ... :-\
