Yea, I really like the looks of that one also.  However that's the BG-1 from King Wacko Roman and I refuse to deal with him.
I found another guy out on the west coast who said he could make me one after he got through with NAMM. 
I really want one, but all it takes is $$$ and I need to finish what I have in the fire right now...
:rock-on:

 

[DangerousR6]

Keeping up with the Jones'

 

[vtpcnk]

i think a gibson lyre vibrola would look cool on that.

 

[Nando Vallart]

Will be awesome! But I think the headstock should be matched with the body!
Rev for the win!

Very much looking forward to seeing this one built.

Are ya gonna use thumbnail position markers?

I don't think Warmoth will do the thumbnail markers... :dontknow:

No, you are correct.  They will not.

Anyway, I asked for them specifically and was denied...

Since TV Jones' are a bit expensive, I think I might try some GFS Loud mouths to start with...I might eventually get some TV's... :dontknow:

That's a cool look with the Loud Mouths - go for it!

 

[Death by Uberschall]

Man, don't skimp on Billy!!!  :sad:

 

[m4rk0]

You will enjoy the loudmouth.... it sounds really really good! different, but good

 

[m4rk0]

I have to add though that it started to sound really really good after I changed the neck from maple to rosewood/ebony

 

[DangerousR6]

Man, don't skimp on Billy!!!  :sad:

I'll eventually get some Jones', it's just not in the budget at the moment.... :laughing7:

I forgot about you having one in the Orange Special Marko, how do you like it?

Pete at Vintage Vibe offers a "Vibetron" humbucker, maybe send him an email? His prices seem very reasonable.

Wow, he's got some badass pick ups, but his prices are still about the same as some TV's. Although I do like the sounds of his pups better than the Jones..I like these.... :laughing7:

I like it a lot! it's definitely hot, but not your typical hot humbucker.. very hard to describe... it's kinda raw and chrunchie sounding.

I was reading an interveiw that Billy gave to some guitar mag. and he said they took the bridge pickup upart and had it rewound to the exact specks of his Pearly Gates bridge pickup. If your looking for his sound stock TV Jones' ain't gonna cut it. But what ever you get this is going to be one cool guitar.
