Actually, I use to go there for research ghost wolf. But they are like rabid animals when someone respectfully disagrees. I noticed here people are a little more civilized.

Great job, Jerry. I wish I would've been able to contribute somehow, but all the good people here beat me to it.  Did you do anything special with the wiring, etc.? Just making sure you're living up to your sig.

I noticed that large bottle of lotion on the left. What were you doing on your breaks moto?  j/k
I like the guitar. Looks almost like you knew what you were doing. It's cool how so many people came together to help. I have been chewing my fingernails in antici....pation of the pics I knew were coming. |

I adjusted the fretbaord to level without strings on, so truss rod may need tightened a 1/4-1/2 turn.
That turned out nice. I have a thing for black bodies. The only thing I would change is to have made it a Tele, but kids prefer the strat.
