the pickup prototype I made for this guitar completed.

after the glue dried I began sanding off the excess until the inlay markers began to show

[oipunkguy]

after I removed all the glue I then cleaned off all the dust and ink stained the fingerboard. while I was at it I rounded off the edge and stamped the serial number. "0001" lol.

after sanding off the excess paint off the tailpiece and buffing it up this is what I got

[oipunkguy]

using the pictures that max posted (thanks again Max!) i blown them up to full scale size to come up with a template of the pickguard

i routed out the channel for the neck binding and began installing the frets.

I now started to sand out all the rough spots left on the guitar body. at this time I also sanded out a wee bit of contour on the back of the body like my other mosrites. after several hours of sanding this is what i came up with.
