Hehehe, It was the headstock that got me looking at it in the first place.

I was trolling eBay and looking at a list of guitar project bodies that were stupid overpriced and I saw one of these all gutted except for the pickguard, TRC and blend knob. I loved the headstock and started investigating, found this one on ebay with an affordable BIN price so sent an email asking if he'd ship to Canada. In the meantime I watched some youTube vids, and got conviced I needed it now.

It was covered in...mojo?...all up the neck and electronics so I broke out the alcohol wipes and got busy.

Next question, does anyone know any custom pickguard builders??
