I mean seriously, how flat does flat have to be? I'm gonna try your idea anyway Stan and compare it to the real deal one coming from Greece, I'll level the Blacktop with one and my Desert Burst with the other
and check the results.
Unfortunately the build's come to a screaming halt as I eagerly await the arrival of some nuts for the pots and a headstock decal from the States. I wired the hot wire into the jack this morning and screwed up the plate as well as attached the strap lock buttons, took a couple of mock up pics but can't really do much else.

That's looking damn fine, Barge. With all the drama that has come your way, it's nice to see it getting there.

agreed looking really nice Bargeloobs, you got to be happy with the black and white top !

@Wokkaboy, I tell ya what man, I've wanted a blacktop since the first time I ever copped eyes on one, now I've just about got my own. I'm literally drooling. The trick's gonna be getting it to play as good as it looks.
sure you will get it playing as good as it looks Barge. What type of pups you got in it ?

My two cents worth (well, five actually, you can't get two any more)... Zebra pups always look sh!t hot!
