There are a lot of details that makes this guitar a great guitar, the finish, the pickups, the hardware, the details at the headstock. If I could vote, I would do it for her XD.

Ok I'll throw my hat in the ring! This is the 'binned guitar' as it spent most of the night in the bin after a disastrous paint job led to what I thought was an incurable case of lumpy solid finish! It took me over 4 hours to get the finish off with a razor blade but I'm now glad I did.
RC4A kit. The pickup mounts and control cavity are laser cut from cast acrylic. Pickups are humbuckers. Wired as a 4004 withsingle tone and volume (I get confused with too many knobs!)
Front is Feast Watson Jarrah and the back the same in Black. About 8 coats of Cabothane Clear poly gloss and hand polished.
I do have a second set of the pickup surrounds cut in 3mm ply if anyone wants them, let me know

Great recovery from the bin and a very sweet looking bass as a result.
