Nice! Did you have to track down the red switch tip, or did it come with that?

Fiesta red.
I cut the mint pickguard for it today.
It's the real intense mint too, which normally is too much but it works so well here.
Zebra pickups are replaced with White Jagmaster Duncan Design Humbuckers, which are the same really.
I also moved the switch down.
Things are more like they are now, then they ever have been.

Re: What's on your workbench right now?
Thank you for your comments. I think tortoiseshell is it. Here are a few photos.
Besides wiring the guitar, the only major task left to do is to complete sanding the neck and apply finish to it.

Re: What's on your workbench right now?
With all the other stuff on there, that's really cool. Tort is definitely the best look.

This a vertigo? One of my favorite bands Norma Jean had a guitar player that only played one of those. They play heavy music.

Re: What's on your workbench right now?
Part of the shape (the end of the guitar) is similar to the Vertigo by Fernandes, but there are influences from other guitars as well.

I don't think you could go wrong with either one. Personally, tortoiseshell on a white finish has always been a favorite of mine.nnieman wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2019 4:15 amDecision time

I also favor the tort on white. It's a classy look.
