    I really appreciate that Gav. Well I missed Decembers so maybe I'll put in for January's.
    The neck is all bolted on now but I will leave it a couple of day's before the strings go on and then ofcause the rest of the set up. I cant wait to play it, my first build and first Tele to add to the collection. After years of gigging in my younger years I've just pulled the guitars out again about a year ago and or man how I had missed them.

    I reckon you have really aced it!

    What an astoundingly cool guitar 8-)
    Your workmanship & artistry are a true inspiration.
    Now I am determined to break out my airbrush . . . soon.

    BTW: is The "Aces High" theme from the old pinball machine? (I had to ask)

    Actually Max I got the name from an old war movie I was watching the other day . The theme of the guitar and the name were a total coincidence that just worked lol... Thanks for kind words too.

    Outstanding. Really cool looking axe there Jarrod. I love the headstock logo you've come up with, though I will admit the first thing that popped into my head when I saw J.M.C. was Jupiter Mining Corporation. Any dwarfers out there?
