Just got the body. The project begins.

This is a fairly lightweight swamp ash body with a maple cap from Warmoth. Dyed top and trans-blue sides and back. 3 Super II's, MIDI, OBEL, Waldo Buffer, etc. Hopefully in a month we'll have her rolling.

Sweet, loved the first one can't wait for this one. Which one of Jerry's guitars is the wiring scheme gonna be most like?

Its tie dyed!

Nice! Soloist body or Strat style? What are you doing for neck/fingerboard/frets/nut?

Suddenly I have the urge to go swimming. That's beautiful!

It's a strat body with a rear route instead of a pickguard. Neck is all maple with a vintage tint finish, abalone dot inlays. Jeff is a Strat guy. Electronically, I'll probably do my normal take on the Jerry approach. I won't be doing exactly a copy of a Jerry wiring job, but essentially the same effect, same sounds available for the most part.
