Love the work in here. This is my version I am working on.

Cabronita by Hentai No Baka, on Flickr

Tossing a 51 plate on it and going with a reverse headstock.

remember with a reverse headstock you have to get a mirrored decal to look like it does in that dressing room mockup.

True, but it might be funny to have the decal upside down so it looks like it was literally flipped upside down like when Lefty's restring rightys.

thats what im doing, only in order for the decal to have the F at the nut end and the spaghetti at the tip, it has to be mirrored, like you put the decal on "face down"

Yeah. Not sure how to do the normal waterslides that way. I might have to get a lefty decal instead of a mirror one.

Sort of inspiring me..I've been saving a little money here and there to do a Cabronita build/assemble, but the JM body's starting to tug at me.

Hi Mario!
Thanks for your message.
The finish is beautiful! The color doesn't match what I had in mind as Sherwood Green but I'm very pleased with it anyway. I was surprised the body looked almost new while weather checked, but after a few days staring at it, I'm digging it more and more, anyway, this guitar to be will be played a lot, and actual ageing will be done naturally.

It's a very long process and I had some hard time waiting, but I'm OK with that, I wouldn't have any other body faster anyway (As you may have noticed, I have also ordered a USACG body which arrived one week earlier).
I have no real complaint except for the ground to bridge missing hole. But a luthier will drill it for me.
I also had to do remove some wood to fit the CTS pot. I won't blame you for that as I have not specified what I wanted to fit in, but the route needed more room to fit a CTS pot (the extra brown piece of the pot).
That being said, I would have appreciate another solution for the extra hole issue, such as another body, even though it would have required extra time - I have to admit a contradiction as I was torn apart between willingness and being patient for "perfection". I made my choice for no complains and being delivered as soon as possible.
I may have overreacted two days ago as the timing was short for me, and childishly waited for that body as one of my next main toy.
But the body is light and as far as I could tell, it seems solid and resonant. I'll tell you more once it would be finished.
So I would change the slightly disappointed conclusion "I won't order again from Guitarmill" by "time will tell".

Gerald

I'm about to fly to NYC for the whole month of october, and I wonder if I would bring one of my two projects to finish them there. But I would need some help for final soldering and maybe sanding. Is there anyone from this forum who live there who could help? Or maybe someone could give me a Luthier adress?
Thanks!

I also wanted to just comment, that you're a great artist man. Haven't been into comics in a long long time but you and Phil Noto throw fine art elements into what you do which is why I dig it! ps. you inspired me to want to build a jägercaster. yours looks so sick!

Thanks SO much! I'm a big fan of noto!

I brought back some TV jones from NYC.

I'll post some pics later.
I love the guitars, both of them, but the musikraft neck is definitely the best neck I ever had.
