Custom neck plate ideas? Personalized? So, Johnified? Or GUN logo engraved?

John, I received the tort a couple days ago, I'll shoot a pic or two three of it tomorrow. It is kinda dark, though not really brown, more red-like. With some very nice transparancy to it, some spots you can really see right through it.

Hahah! Talk about some pimped out neckplates.
I'm not entirely sure what to do. I REALLY dig the gun logo though. But that would be cool to have on the headstock.
ALTHOUGH, if master Oi would greatly prefer to use his take on the Mosrite-logo, then it would be nice to have the gun logo on the plate.
I'll think about it. Nothing too flashy is required.

Thanks a bunch Olav!! Looking forward to those pics. :)

Routed the neckpocked and PU cavities:

Next thing to do is figure out the heel/neckangle and make a neckplate.
And ask Matt for some schematics for the pickups there are 5 (FIVE!!) wires comin' out...

5 wires? That's not a pickup... that's telephone switchboard.

John, here's a taste of tårt

against a window, from 10-15cm

against a dark background, 5-10cm

This stuff is hard to shoot, reflections all over the place.
I think it looks very good, but you said you wanted a dark tort, so you might think this is too light or too red. I'll leave a sample at Oigun's for you to check out.

Thanks a bunch Olav! I'll wait for Oi' to check it out at the shop, and we'll decide once the paintjob is done. :)
I've definitely seen worse tort!

Exciting! What configuration have you got in store for the three knobs; two volume- (for each pickup) and one tone knob? Cool 8-)
