Great looking guitars. Love the cup stain on the tweed top. Made me chuckle a bit ...

All you need now is Snakeskin Mesa Boogie Mark I and you're complete ;) Good looking 'Cabronita' though!

BTW What kind of wiring are you using? And is it different for the different pups you are using in terms of caps and resistors used?

I'd love to have a naked G&L body and neck to re-finish. Just can't bring myself to buy even a tribute to do it.
