No problem, I like the NR thing. In fact, over time, it could evolved. My first two, one all mahogany and one all maple, will sort of be current parts basses for starters to see how things shake out. Then I'll standardized things once I'm happy with the configurations.
The pickguard is the hardest decision to make. I like it for control cavity reasons, but I prefer to see more of the top. This is the hardest decision thus far. All the other stuff is pretty close to settled.
