Nice mods man, I'm really digging where you're heading with this, now carry on and be sure to post more pics once you've finished those top contours:-)
Hey Jay, ... those bevels (contours?) look so right its almost as if the ESP was meant to have them ... damn fine design idea (especially if you keep 'em sharp and don't round 'em off)
This is certainly a build that I'm goin' to be keepin' a keen eye on ... what are your plans for this little beaut? (colour?, finish? hardware? other mods?)
Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!
SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)
Jay, that looks awesome. Like Scott said - like it was meant to be.
Love the mods very metal- I was going to "snakebite"" mine and then chickened out. Keen to see how this progresses.

Thanks dudes, pretty pleased the way it came out. I was thinking about snakebiting it but yeah pretty drastic.
Im a big fan of the solid white explorers so im thinking of doing the body and headstock in white, with the rest of the neck in a semi transparent satin black. Im keeping the standard hardware and pups for now but im upgrading the switch/pots and the nut.
sounds like a great colour combo Jay
Really awesome contours on the top there. That will rock in WHITE.
Looking great Jay. I agree, gloss white will look fantastic. Watching with keen interest!!
cheers,
Gav.
