Well with some bits and pieces lying around that I had ..... as you do  ;D 
Then by adding .......
Some rather nice woods and a mix of pickups, plus mixing up Chrome and Black hardware.
You could say that I'm very very happy with this build.
This neck is just Yummie !!   ;D
Very nice indeed, she's a beauty to play. 

Pups used, all sound different to anything else I have .... thats a good thing.   ;)
Defiantly has it's own sound to it.

I'm usually of the opinion that a busy neck deserves a plain looking body.
As too, with a busy looking body, needs a less subtle neck / fretboard. (that's just me of-cause) 
Kind-of like my Alpine White Strat with that busy neck on it.

Q... What kind of advice can you give me ?   Tommy Emmanuel's reply ....

You move your hand Up and Down that long bit and the music comes out of that Big Black Box behind you !!

WOW! That's just beautiful, Zummooz! That fretboard is killer, and the black and chrome combo is stunning. Very tasteful result! Thanks for sharing! :D

Flaming 'eck Zummooz!! that is one stunning guitar with very lovely woods, you have excelled yourself sir.

Bugger now I am GASing for a Tele, preferably a rosewood one, who cares about the weight and Chiropracter's bill.

You really should start an EBay shop as a powerseller and start selling some copies of your greatest hits.

I particularly like the headstock. .......  nice shoes too  ;D ;D
