I stumbled accross this amazing Rick resto, done by an ex factory employee:

He took an old body that had had the neck sawed off and built a new neck from scratch and turned it into a 36012 OS. I wish I had this guy's job (and talents). Work like this puts all my Fender bolt-on projects into perspective.
