    That's unique in the best way! I love the contrast between the bright bright blue and the white pearloid.

    Bet you're happy

    Thanks for the great comments guys. I am well chuffed with it, the pics don't really do it justice. Happy with sound, the hamburger go he's a really nice deep bass tone, and the single coil is really bright, so I can get a really nice mix. Plays well too, although I getting a guitar tech mate to tickle up the action for me, the first fret seems to be a bit high even though from the 3rd up it's OK, maybe I need to shave a bit off the nut. My wife says to tell you she picked the scratch plate ! ! Good choice.
    Good job I'm in the UK Wokkaboy ! Have to think about my next build now.
