Nice job; I noticed the lugs on the pots, but I'll be swapping them out for full size ones.

I have most of the painting done (nitro rattle cans throughout); the body just needs a few more coats of clear before buffing & polishing.

The neck is done with vintage amber lacquer.
I also designed the headstock logos and printed them out onto clear waterslide decal paper.
Unfortunately I damaged the finish on the headstock whilst hanging it, but it's fixable.

Looks great. I love the stencil.

A few upgrades:
. DiMarzio electronics
. Grover machine heads
. Mosrite style bridge
. Gibson reflector tone knob
. Mosrite clone pickups

I decided against the Seymour Duncan/DiMarzio pickup configuration, representative of post '82 Ramones and went instead with these ones, which I know are not strictly correct for the slab bodied Mozzies.Attachment 44051
