Your builds are very fun to follow, Scatter Lee. This Blackguard will be amazing.

I'd like to suggest another idea for a future "vintage" build. I think you would get this one perfectly. It's probably an Ohio thing. ;)

thought about it before, never found a good pic to get the duct tape pattern :confused:

Howdy Shane! This thing looks SWEET!!! Can I add one thing? The headstock to FB radius on the 50's necks is very tight. The radius you have is more correct for a slab style neck. I'll add a picture from my phone. Looks great, very clean. The SV burst must be a sweet axe.

Edit: Just read the rest of the action. Congrats on the new dremel and good job on that radius! sorry I posted this before I read through it all buddy. :lol:
