The Iceman Cometh!

[pjmuck]

Here, at long last, is my finished Iceman project.

The body and neck were painted in pelham blue metallic by http://www.guitarpaintguys.com and they did an amazing job. Unfortunately, since they painted the neck pocket and heel, the neck no longer fit, so I had to sand off some of the pocket and cracked the edge slightly in the process. Oh well.

Nut needs filing and I'm wiring it up today, then we'll see how the stock PUPs sound. Then down the line I may get an Iceman truss rod cover, chrome PUP covers, etc depending on how I feel. But for now, I'm stoked.

Congrats PJ, that looks great! Electronics can always be upgraded- but I'm anxious to hear your thoughts on the playability of the kit- must be pretty decent if you were willing to invest in the finish job?

Thanks everyone.

Truthfully, when it arrived, I thought the color looked darker than I was expecting, but it's one of those colors where lighting has everything to do with it.

I'll write up a full review about the kit and the overall end result once I get everything in place and operating.
