Cool 'Stang, but... it reminds me of the Pepto-stang. I think a white pickguard is a must.

twb 20 it says on the back of the humbucker.. its looks all high tech underneath too.. pickups are up for grab when i get new.. they actually sound decent..

Another guitar saved from the "motor oil" woodgrain finish. Nice job. I like the quasi-Duo-Sonic setup with one toggle switch, un-stangy as that may be.

But what's that black stuff on the pickups?

ok, i forgot to tell you that yes, i do have enough pg material to make one for you, you wanted mop right?
anywho, it kinda depends on how fast you want it cuz there is someone else who wants a mop guard.
do you want it in a week or in 3?
which is your preferrence?
