No probs Crash, glad you jumped on it buddy
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
It finally appears that I have figured it out! Here are two photos of my JR Elite one with my EGNATER amp (shameless plug) and one of it lying on the bed when I brought it home!

nice score Crash, axe looks great. They are tiny fret dot markers.
Is there any reason why the volume and tone knobs are different?

In the late seventies, Johnny Ramone lost the tone knob on his Mosrite Ventures 2 while on tour. Being a broke punk rocker, he stole a knob (I've heard 2 versions of the story) either off of a Les Paul that belonged to a member of a band that they were touring with...or off of a Fender Twin Reverb amp that belonged to a band they were touring with. Still to this day, the mosrite he played the majority of about 2300 shows with throughout the Ramone's career...and now, long after he has passed...still has mismatched knobs. If you google "johnny ramone's guitar...millions of images will pop up. Since this is a tribute model...they did it to pay homage to him

Johnny Ramone originally had a blue Mosrite that he bought for 54.00 because it was the cheapest guitar in the store...hence the tribute model being offered in blue, but discontinued. The blue one was stolen around 1978, which is when he replaced it with a white one, had the tremolo removed, replaced the pickups, and proceeded to beat the crap out of for the next 20 years or so. Notice the mismatched knobs on the white Mosrite. ..the one he was really known for playing

Yeah, it really has. The coolest thing, when Johnny walked off stage at the Ramones final show, he handed the white Mosrite to Arturo Vega, a long time friend of the band. "I guess I don't need this anymore" when asked about it years later he said "Do carpenters keep a toolbox with them after they retire? No. I was retired...I didn't need my tools anymore"

Just a heads up, you will need to add wood to the headstock to get the full massive CBS headstock a-la a 72 deluxe, but there is enough there to do a pre or post CBS Strat headstock.Originally Posted by Crash Fistfite
