*EDIT*
While waiting for parts to arrive, I started with what I already had at home.

What I have here is the collet from a cheap jazzmaster-style trem (cut down slightly), the arm from a Japenese Mustang and a dome headed nut with a holedrilled in the dome.


Assembled;

Just gotta wait for the rest of the guitar to arrive...

Just a little hint as to where this project is going...

Anything show up yet?

It's not here yet, but the tracking says it went through customs a couple of days ago so hopefully wont be much longer.

Yes, it made me chuckle. My phone posts are always a bit crap- i blame the vintage-style browser.

Fair play, I thought you were just posting in response to mah QUESTION MARX with no reference to the hilarity.

Dunnae bother doog, he ain't worth it....I lolled for you. We all lolled for you..... Except that ... George. His heart is made of ice and Satans

I now retract my lol as it's clearly not appreciated. Doog saw it fit to fish for lolz which were here all along *sob*

ADDDDDAAAAAM WHAT IS THIS!!

Dave, I wasn't gonna spill the beans until I have all the parts in my grubby little mitts.
But, since you ask. I have a body coming from Cooterfinger, no trem arm sadly; which is why I cobbled together parts for the trem.
I got some AVRI Jaguar pickups from Othomas2.
Already have a toggle, pots and knobs.
The neck is an Allparts JGRO, tinted with French polish, then blown over with Nitrocellulose clear and an ebay decal slapped on.
I've got some poverty kluson-style white button tuners for it too.
Pics to come when I have all the parts together in one place.

I LOVED YOUR LOLS, GEORGE, DON'T LET THIS MAN TELL YOU OTHERWISE! *wail*

Great stuff!! Looking forward to seeing that!

Woohoo!!!

Today I got THIS Bronco body from Cooterfinger.
Today the batteries in my camera also died, so I can only take shitty pics with my phone.

What I'm really suprised by is that it is a totally different shape to my other (1972ish) Bronco, this one has noticably thinner pointier horns.

And now I'm torn wether to install AVRI Jaguar pickups or a combo of Jag quarter pounder bridge pickup and '65RI (I think) neck pickup.
I've got some 250K pots, and bronco style Knobs to go on this, in fact I have £220 worth (LOLZ!)

OPINIONS NEEDED ON THE PICKUP OPTIONS PLEASE!!!

Camera has battieries, I has guitar parts. So, photo opportunity:


The neck and body still need a little wet sanding, a polishing, etc...
I need to do a little routing on the body too, mainly for my choice of 3way stitch. I'll have pics when I've done it.

Almost forgot; I have a string tree and some strap buttons on thier way.

Good news/Bad news:

Good news;
I sprayed a load of nitro on this, flatted it sprayed, etc.. Ready for a final wet sand and polish.
Looking good:

Also did a little bit of routing, needed a little space around the pickups, the 3 way switch, and near the volume pot.


Bad news;
Because I didn't want to scratch all that sexy shiny lacquer, I wrapped it all in masking tape.
Routing went well, but when I peeled the tape off, some of the colour came with it.

Oh, well. Shit happens, I guess.
