And, the body could be a Mighty Mite. They actually do sparkles, but the pics never looked great. |

Oh, and the neck is a USACG finished in nitro - got it from Dan Atkinson. With Hipshot tuners.
Thanks for all the comments!

Damn. You beat me to it. I bought one of these bodies myself...
I got mine yesterday; I was really pleased with how it looks in person.
Going with an all maple neck, a black pickguard and probably a BA II bridge.

Just kidding - but truthfully, those were the only knobs I had here. I'll get some other ones at some point. Oh, and I have no idea of the origin of the guard - it's something I bought a long time ago. Obviously not a perfect fit.

Tried a white pickguard on mine (just laid it on the body)... Sure looks good.
I think I will still order a black one though; I'm going to go for a late seventies look with the maple fretboard neck.

Moonshine | I actually originally planned on a black guard, but decided I liked the "mint/parchment" once I laid it on there (and it kind of has a nice late '60s look). They both looked good. And seriously, the finish is pretty nice on these bodies for the money!
