Congrats to the winners! From the moment I saw the pics of the purple SG, I knew it was a race for 2nd place.
I agree with a lot of the summary...if I had to do it over, I'd eliminate the switches as suggested and simplify the layout a bit, and yes, the black finish on the head stock, while it looks good in person, does show a little grain. I had originally put a veneer on it to match the body, but the figuring sucked, so I just sanded and painted it over black. I should have completely removed it. The TRC does sit flush, but it's raised a little in the pic because it was leaning against one of the tuner washers. Oh well All the screws are black, but they picked up some light reflections in the pic, so it's a bit hard to tell. I'll probably go back and put a logo on the TRC. I was having trouble finding a font I liked, so I put it off.
Appreciate the kind words on my first effort. It's a loud mo-fo and fun to play (two drummers in the family and this weekend we made some huge noise). Next up, a tribute to my other favorite band...Blue Oyster Cult. I've got some ideas I haven't seen anywhere on the forum. Should be crazy
Congrats again to the winners...here's another pic (I should have used this when I threw my bass into the ring originally):
