    Wooo! all done pretty stoked on how this turned out.

    If you haven't been following the build, its a JM-1 kit with the maple neck from an ST-1M kit, the bridge is from a Pitbull kit as well.... the rest is not.

    the mod list is pretty heavy... the body was plugged and re-routed for the new pickguard layout and the original trem cavity filled as well. I then added the TOM bridge and routed out the body for the floating trem.
    The body was then sanded and primed and shot with gloss white. the top coat is rattlebomb 'Str8 Purplin' its a metallic/pearlescent all in one.

    I plugged/redrilled the headstock and put a maple veneer on to hide the plugs and upgraded to some Gotoh vintage inline tuners and changed the nut. I also opened up the trussrod hole to fit in a 70's style bullet... no way I'd put a truss rod cover on a F style neck so I though this would be a cool little finish.... first time making decals as well.
