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

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

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.
