Looks pretty nice. The horseshoe and finish stand out to me.

Thanks, Jeff. No, I think I'm going to stop here.jps wrote:Looks great!
Do you plan on getting a '60s vintage style pickguard to complete the look?

Re: 4003 FG w/mods
I agree that the mods would look better on, say, the new S model but I'm 6 months too late for that! Still, I don't think anything really looks "out of place" since it consists of all RIC parts. Adding other manufacturers' pickups and parts to RIC guitars and basses is my definition of out of place.iriane wrote:The horseshoe looks good, but the toaster looks a bit odd with the larger spacing and the double hump pickguard. The vintage knobs don't really jive with the bound body and neck inlays. Looks good, some things just look a bit out of place.
