Here it is, just some final sanding and polishing left to do.  I like it!

Chrome is to Gibson, as 5 ply black/white pickguard, as is Mudbucker, as is mahogany

It's the Gibson recipe

Yeah, the tort was an idea because it's my favorite, but sometimes a favorite material isn't the best for a particular application.  This has turned out really nice.
