Thanks Bobby. It would be embarrassing to say how long it took to build this. I was surprised at the sound it has.

The pick-ups are Bill Lawrence 708's. I understand they don't make or sell them anymore. As far as the covering, that is "Camo-Wrap". I started out with a formica finish and decided that most everything around my place has camo so why not the guitar.
