I'm proud of the way this one came out. The Body was done by IronWorxx; the inspiration was a 50s T type that has been modified over the years and took a few knocks.. I wasnt going for a Keef vibe, but I do like the way the upside down PAF sounds..

Specs:
Body: Sugar pine Nitro Black Relic IronWorxx
Neck: AllParts TMO-C Roasted, TruOil for tint then a lite coat of Nitro.. Buffed the shine out with 0000 Wool
Nut: Bone
Pickguard: WD
Pickups: Custom Low WInd Relic HB Neck 7.7ohm, Bridge Custom Wound Relic 8.5 ohm
Electronics: 500K CTS, Fender 3 way, .0022Cap.. No resistor on the bridge and I think it sounds great..
Bridge, Control Plate knobs: Custom relic
Tuners, String Tree: American Vintage Fender
Weight 6 pounds 15 Oz

I just have question not about the guitar, but the pics. I use a Iphone 11 and my strings look twisted just like yours.
Were these pics taken with a Iphone by any chance?
Oh and great looking guitar!

Yep iPhone 12 mini no filters, but the lens is creating distortion I think
