Wowie zowie, that looks great!
Are those parts drop-in replacements or did you have to make any mods?

Everything is drop in.  Gotoh tuners easily replace the Grovers, custom-made SD 60's TB spec pups (60's pup is slightly smaller, by 1/8" or less, than the black plastic pups).  The only mod will be if I decide to use the pup ring, then I'll have to drill holes in the body.

Thank you for giving me a booster to my chrome addiction.

I feel much better now!   :mrgreen:

Great. You've ruined it then.

As terrific as it looks, I have no plans to do it to mine, if it makes you feel any better.

Hey, no need to be brutal, just switch positions with the output jack! Tip: if tone pots cable is short and doesnt wanna go there, just cut it and put it there just for looks, (almost) noone uses tone pots anyway!!! :P

 Bill, It looks fantastic!

 Honestly, it looked ok with the black, but the chrome really makes it look proper.
