Yes, I probably am crazy, but I've been thinking about the guitar I want for a good while now.
A Semi-Hollow like my much-missed '70s ES345, but this one in a deep transparent yellow stain with a trapeze tailpiece (that's the bit that's hard to find) and all black hardware (hence the B instead of G).
The guys at Pit Bull were super helpful in getting that together and shipped - and it arrived much earlier than I expected. Now I gotta go to some fancy wood places to gather some bits of maple and some stain options so I can work out how to get the finish I want. (DingoTone isn't available in the states.)
The wiring shouldn't be too much of a challenge - I've been in the electronics game for 30-something years, and have confidence.
The neck gluing is the bit I'm nervous about. Think I'll save that until after the body is finished and wired.
At the moment, thinking TruTint in a water base is where I'll start. Then some clear coats and a good polish. Should take three months or so
