Building my Crunch-Caster

So I have decided to title my first project Crunchcaster I. (Roman numeral 1 not the letter i :razz: )
I started with a routed body from ebay, and applied the first lacquer today. I am doing black on top, with natural sides and back. I was going to leave it all natural with clear lacquer, but that wasn't enough of a challenge for my inexperienced self :wink:
All black hardware, which I have in the mail on the way to me now....
Ordering a 12" radius Tele neck w/rosewood fretboard on Monday...
Esquire pickguard, Seymour Duncan Hot Rails at the bridge ran to 1 volume knob, no tone. Traditional looking black Wilkinson Compensated Tele bridge. I was going to do a topload hardtail (non tele style) but figured I would keep it simple for my first build.

So here are the first pics....pic one is as I recieved it, and the rest are after the black on the top (I have some small corrections I need to make from where it bled past my tape...FYI FROG TAPE IS NO BETTER THAN MASKING TAPE)

What does everyone think so far? Remember it's my first build...first paint and everything so go easy on the young one :)

Thanks for looking!

Looks great to me - is that paint straight off the gun (two pack) or buffed up and ready to go?

As it sits in the pics it is freshly sprayed.
