So the day has come. Ready to start the long process of building my guitar.
What I have so far.
Musikraft Body
Musikraft Neck
78 Custom SD pickup relic. Thanks to MJ over at SD
Single coil PU from YMI5150?
Old School Floyd Rose from Johnny62
German schallers also from Johnny62
Reliced input jack from Johnny62
Switch I found on ebay (Not sure this one will do)
Loaded pickguard from Divebomb
A brand new input jack to relic myself.
For Paint I will go with. Duplicolor black, super red II and white. Some people have tried the Wimbledon. Still not sure of the exact models of paint.
Here are some photos of what I am starting with. The body looks great.
I also wanted to thank everyone whose brain I have been picking. Your time is very much appreciated. Any and all advice and critique is welcome.

Yeah man, the parts are phenomally relic'd
Here are some templates to help you out, if you want them
They should print to 100% scale, but if not let me know so I can tweak them
EDIT: You may notice the back templates are missing the vertical stripe on the bottom
This is because it's compeltely hidden under the reflectors, and I didn't want to decieve anyone
Use another picture for reference as far as that goes  |

I just started doing some relicing to the neck. I am going to use the photo of Seymour Duncan holding Franky as to how much grim i had. I don't want a ton but enough to look like it has been used for a while. Plus I want to add some of my own grim on it from playing.
I took this picture with half the neck done just to see the difference. I am also going to knock back the grime a bit more. I am using graphite and steel wool. Any other ideas would be great.

Ok so I just got another switch. I think this one closer looking to the real deal. It really doesn't need much relic.
