While I finish scraping together the money to pay my exorbitant tax bill, I've had to content myself with some minor purchases and major Photoshop work. So, not having any real concrete build progress to post, I'll share what I have done, for any that are interested.
I've already posted the planned engraving for the Control Plate, but a left handed version. Here's the corrected view:
That same pattern will carry over onto the bridge, in this case a Babicz Z-Series:
And while we're at it, also to the headstock via a decal. The headstock will be black lacquered, the decal printed in white text against a silver filigree:
And finally, my standard Neck Plate, with the name of the build and the serial number:
Hopefully all coming together, and looking something like this:
I have the neck, bridge, tuners, and some misc. items. The pups are on order, and in another week or so and I can order the body, which is the last major component. Then, I'll get the final artwork out to Doug so he can work his magic on the engraved parts. I'm feel'n the itch, start'n to jones for a new Tele!
