Here's my latest project I just finished. I've always liked a redburst color scheme, gold hardware, and pearloid trim, so I put together a tele style guitar with all of these. The body and neck were prefinished Mighty Mite parts, and the rest of the parts came from everywhere. There was a lot of fitting had to be done, even on the body and neck even though they were made by the same company, and the pickup cavities had to be deepened a little to accommodate the EMG active pickups. All of the work paid off, it plays, looks, and sounds fantastic.
