My most recent project was a Pitbull KH-1 kit, a replica of a Klein guitar. When I started I had a couple of goals in mind: 1) I wanted the finish to be shiny copper--not metal flake copper, but shiny copper like a new penny (or...a new, shiny copper pipe, if wherever you are from doesn't have copper pennies), and 2) I wanted to add a push/pull pot to let me split the humbucker at the bridge. It was a bumpy road, but I'm happy with the result.
First, a photo of the destination, to whet the appetite:
Now, back to the beginning...
