Wow. Guitar building at the speed of light :)
Looks great, Paul. I've always wanted a nice Jazzmaster or Jaguar, but I've yet to find one that is in good condition AND plays nice. Perhaps you've got the right idea going the custom route. Hmmm...

Thats a beautifull Sunburst I see here...just the way I like it...thin black outer-line..it looks a bit "reddish" but could be optical...

Love the flame on the back of that neck! Best AAA neck i have seen so far, leans towards instrument grade id say. :)

looking at the depth its probably instrument grade, but instrument grade flame is (or should be) more consistent thoughout the wood.
