More pics and words about the project.
Tonar has already agreed to lay on a glossy black lacquer paint job on the body.
The neck will be padouk, with a pao ferro fingerboard. The frets will be stainless. Position markers will be cream dots with a skull and crossbones at the 12th fret. Black Graph Tech nut.
Bridge will be chrome Wilkinson. (Is the GFS Wilky a suitable bridge, or should I go with the one Warmoth handles?)
I'm leaning toward GFS Dream 90s, or maybe Mean 90's for the pickups.
I scored the tuners from eBay. They are the same ones C. B. Gitty was carrying. They're actually not bad tuners. I had originally thought to just use the skulls on something else, like Grovers or Schallers, whatever they might fit, but now I'm thinking I'll just use them as is.
A buddy of mine does great pinstriping, so I'm gonna collar him to lay down the red in One Shot enamel.
Going to go with Q-Parts' chrome Angry Skull UFO knobs, and I wanted a red MJ Guitars switch knob, but it looks as if they're not carrying those (or any knobs) anymore.
Stay tuned, True Believers, as this awesome beast comes together!
