BTW OffYourFace, are you ever gonna tell us what band you're playing this thing with?
Bang Camaro, I think.
Yep, that's the band. See this thread:
index.php?topic=11080.0
I can't use the Fiesta Red Body because it's a Jaguar body, wrong scale. Otherwise, I'd be all set...

I just bought this!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0217211802
I figured it was a good idea because the finish can take a beating on the road, it was cheaper & lighter than the Warmoth bodies, and I might have it done before tour now!
4lbs 0 oz. is pretty good!

God, I love those White Blonde JM bodies.
Good score, Michael!

Cool! Are you still gonna go with a white pickguard? White/white with black pickups is a pretty classic metal colour combo too, I reckon.
Times change. Remember when dog Jimmy used to go white and chalky? Now it grows hair! We got used to it. We'll get used to poly. -blueavenger

what is wrong with white body, white pickguard and white pickups and white knobs?
It would look a block of ice! The balls!

here's what's in the works:
The p/g is parchment, not bright-white.

I guess the price is not bad, it comes out a little less than a new Warmoth painted replacement body.
4 pounds good? Will it balance well? I guess you'll see when you load it and put the neck on.

It looks killer. Tell us how it sounds with the Humbuckers. I bet it sounds just like a JM on steroids.

What about a mirror guard with the black humbuckers?

Nice looking body (hmmm...)!
FTW-Black guard on blonde!
Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

That's way hotter than the black, IMO.
Personally, I like the pickup rings.
