Well here's my Fralin pickup. Split coil lefty.

Sounds weird I know, but I always found these pickups to be aesthetically cool :geek:

I know that feeling. The wait..... Did you get the new slim neck or standard? I just ordered a fretless unlined neck from Warmoth with "Jet Black" ebony. I hope this neck is good. Their custom stuff went up.

I got the standard neck, but in a Jazz Bass nut width.

Oh man, that is gonna be one sweet looking axe. I love the finish. I there going to be a clear coat over the headstock decal? You can get spray from stewmac and put a bunch of light brush coats on it.

Here's the neck & body joined, but not bolted. Still waiting for my clearcoat on the peghead to be dry enough to sand. Tuners are just lying on the floor but not installed of course. I just wanted a sneak preview because I'm an obsessive douche/excited. I anticipate full assembly tomorrow evening.

Wow!.. the color on the body is killer... the first picture did not do it justice... reminds me of the finish on a fine Corvette :). If it sounds as good as it looks... wow...
