Picked this up for pretty cheap. I think it will be a fun build. :)

Did the wiring today. Just need the pickguard and a neck. :)

Is the red button a kill switch?

Yup! It works pretty well from tap testing today. :) Arcade style.

Pickguard I ordered from Etsy came in and I think it looks really cool!

That is really nice.

Nice. I use my rhythm section switch on my JM and Jag as a kill switch sometimes with the volume turned down, but you can’t really do it quickly or else you’ll fuck the switch up. :/

I bet. I have those switches crap out even though I hardly ever use them. LOL

That's a really subtle burst. Is the pickguard hand painted or is it some kind of appliqué?

It isn't hand painted. It is from Etsy. Not sure how they made the material. Maybe printed?

I got the neck on today with the custom neck plate. A friend of mine who is getting married this next weekend loved it and wanted to buy it from me, so I am gifting it to her for her wedding this next Saturday. :) I am glad it is going to someone who really is excited about it. :) I think it turned out great. Sounds really nice. The neck pocket is nice and snug so you can feel the body vibrate when you play. :)
