so some updates, no pics though
the sage green caster might be short a neck because the cock i was going to buy the acoustic off of decided to bail on our sale and put it on ebay, i'm hoping to snag it for cheaper now but it seems the latest fetish on offset is XII's so it might be a bitter auction.
hopefully once school has finished up, the cyclone will be finished and i can order a jazzmaster body from warmoth to match up with a 12 neck. the other option if the acoustic neck falls through is this...
it would make for a cramped string spacing, but i have that maple b&b neck that might work great, i just have to figure what kind of tuners to get to work for that, i think split post design might be out. there is also some debate going on right now as to the sizing of RI mustang bass pickup covers, it seems they *might* work after all, if not novak can make pickups to fit anyways, or i might just go with japanese mustang pickups, who knows. i considered running a trem with the TOM, having 6 strings go through the wraparound tail piece (acting as a buzz stop) while the 6 octave strings were mounted in the wraparound tail like normal, and all of them running over a 12 string TOM mounted on a mustang trem plate, but it will be too much chrome, too complicated, and will likely not stay in tune, so i'm leaning back towards the mustang plate with a 12 string TOM setup.
this pickguard got in today...

(not mine, mine is sunburst, cbs look, ooooo)
if it looks familiar, that's because it was tribi's, in all fairness he cut me a good deal. i'm using this one as a template for an all black guard with 2 tilted lace sensors in the bridge and a rail pickup in the neck for now. he got it from noho, and charged me $30, which isn't bad considering noho wanted around 80 for the same thing plus shipping two ways (i'd have to send mine down as a template). if anyone with a cyclone wants it when i'm done with it, it might need some slight trimming by the tone/volume plate, but pay the shipping and put it to good use, and i have no problem sending it to you when i'm done with it.
speaking of noho, the malikaster/jazz-caster has hit a brick wall as i haven't heard from anyone at noho since september, some progress info would be nice boys, i want to get this thing together.
the robog jagstang body is sitting on my floor under the jagmaster/blaster body, i think i have all the parts for that except for the pickup cover (in the works), mustang neck pickup, and the pickguard has to be cut.
anyways, more updates later, i have hawaii to start getting ready for
