My new project.

Looks sweet, Hack! How's it play?

Thanks, it plays like a $129 Squire.
No, it's not bad really. Had to polish the frets, they felt scratchy when bending.
The neck is sweet. Nice & thin, plus the 24" scale makes it play so easy.
The overall quality is great. Solid bones.
The Generictrons sound decent.
They're really more of a mini humbucker with 12 adjustable poles.
A real Tron has a thick ass magnet, these are just a polished 1/8" alnico.
But they're a nice change from my usual dark and brooding overwound ceramic thingies.

It was a nice guitar before I started, and now, it still is.
So I give it a thumbs up.

It didn't go quite as planned, but my adapt and overcome mentality always prevails, and it did once again right here.

The pickguard was supposed to have a top horn, like a Jazzmaster, but some dumb ass (me) ordered a sheet of pickguard material that was a wee bit too small. Oops.
Along with the top horn, it was supposed to cover the old bridge holes. That didn't happen either.
Had to fill five holes & try to match the paint color. From a foot away, you can't even notice.
But I notice, and it bugs the :poo: out of me...

But it's together. Concentric 500k volume & tone pots.
Neck & bridge pickups through 3 way switch into first (top) set of vol & tone pots.
Middle pickup wired out of phase to other set of vol & tone pots.
Guitar Madness, Artec version of Magnatron pickups.
Switchcraft SG toggle switch, and a little ol' Bigsby B5 to get my wang on with.
