I reckon this headstock design will work well on this body.

I dig it. It is like a Fernandes Vertigo, but as a bass. :D

Revamping this Marauderesque/Jag build I made years ago, again.
I just added an upper control plate.
I don't find bass cut switches very useful so I am going to add an out of phase option for the middle pickup.

I'm also going to refinish it in salmon pink or fiesta red.

That is awesome! I'd vote for fiesta red, but that's just me!

Speaking of Maverick's.
I'm in Lockdown for another week.
Figured I'd build myself a guitar using Bunnings pine, leftover tort and other rando parts.

Very nice! With that reddish tort, you could paint the body green and really lean into the Bunnings theme 😄
