    Nice job; I noticed the lugs on the pots, but I'll be swapping them out for full size ones.

    I have most of the painting done (nitro rattle cans throughout); the body just needs a few more coats of clear before buffing & polishing.

    . grain filler
    . sanding sealer
    . white primer
    . arctic white
    . clear lacquer

    The neck is done with vintage amber lacquer.
    I also designed the headstock logos and printed them out onto clear waterslide decal paper.
    Unfortunately I damaged the finish on the headstock whilst hanging it, but it's fixable.

    I decided against the Seymour Duncan/DiMarzio pickup configuration, representative of post '82 Ramones and went instead with these ones, which I know are not strictly correct for the slab bodied Mozzies.Click image for larger version.  Name: farset_build_upgrades2.jpg  Views: 142  Size: 115.1 KB  ID: 44051
