    Nice. It about the best use for instant coffee i've heard. ITs all come up sweet as, what pickups are you throwing in?

    Especially when we both have other hobbies as well, which cost more
    The only other thing I have to get for this is some Grover tuners, which won't be until the oil has cured, otherwise it's too tempting to start assembling lol

    The green looks awesome man! I'm doing a red/orange one now, but green is on the cards for the next one. I need more practice. Love the back too. I didn't do anything to mine - just TO over the top. Love the wood too much to put anything on it!
