A couple of years back, I purchased a raw SX "P" style body and black block "J" neck from Rondo Music. I am just now getting around to turning them into something more useful than dust collectors. My plan at the moment is to load it with a pair of HK Thunderbird pickups, but nothing is set in stone. As usual, there won't be any really big money being spent on finishes, but I may opt to have the body hydro-dipped if I can find a pattern I really like. Rattle canning it may be an option, but not likely. Same with a stain of some sort, but the grain is really not that attractive, so...
I'm open to ideas and advice about anything on this, especially if anybody has done a similar project.
As it sits now:
