On the jet king thing... I am a big Ibanez fan but what inspired it was more of a Teisco type of thing... ... for the metal guard. The main reason for making it smaller is that the wood it too nice to cover it all up and also to add a little TB mojo to it as well
Music toy never retuned my e-mail about the pickup... warmoth is out [I wouldn't buy one from them any way:taxes+shipping, I don't Like Ken Warmoth ect. So I either have to pay list or get black... or get black and find a chrome cover with no holes....
For now I am not doing the guard because I have yet another idea but don't want to wait to have one made...
So I ordered a jaguar control plate.... I'm thinking about doing something more like a bassVI PG but I don't want to hold this up any more then I have been just do to a PG...
Also I am going back on the Ric bridge because I don't want to rout a hole for it so I ordered a fender bridge.
I'm going to try to do a color job with artist oils instead of dye. I don't like doing dye very much, it is usually hard to get it just right inless you are set up to spray, and I still plan on doing a oil based finish. I have done oil based finish colored before on a double bass and I thought it turned out very well, I was really able to get that 1800's french look on my bass but more red so it kind'a has this burlesque vibe to it for some reason.
Ps: The guitar turned out, I just have to wait a week then I buff and wax it.
I have everything but the pickup. The pickup is on it's way. I asked TV jones if I could get the pickup with a four conductor wire so I could still do my switching and they said no prob idea
