Nice body/neck!!! If you are using white/pearl covered PUs, consider using the metal mounting rings in the appropriate color to match other hardware, would look better than cream/black rings....
Well, ladies & gentlemen,
i would like to present you the finished "Thoene Black Special Custom" guitar! :headbang:
It got finished this weekend finally, and it turned out to be one awesome sounding beauty of a rock guitar!
the nailbomb humbucker in the bridge got a 3-way switch (serial - singlecoil (neck coil) - parallel) and the tone-pot for the Z-90 in the neck got a push-push switch activated mid-filter ( off-position: normal tone-pot (high-cut) :: on-position: mid-cut )
with this thing, i can seamlessly blend the neck-pickup from a mighty Z-90 sound (punchy, loud and very defined) to a much more glassy, clear strat-pickup sound!
amazing..
the earvana-nut is also great! everything sounds in tune now, with or without open strings, open chords, barre-chords, really cool!
i only need to cut it a little deeper for the low strings, as they tend to slip out of it during "heavy riffing".. ;-)=
will record a few soundsamples as soon as i got the time to do it!

you need one or two string trees that'd help keep them in the nut id think.

it is a silver printed logo btw, and i got this one made by one fabulous english guy name mike from the decal shop:
http://www.thedecalshop.co.uk/
it is a waterslide decal, needs to be applied wet to the raw wood, then dry for at least 24 hours, and then laquered over many times to securely fix it and make it "blend in" with the headstock!
