Congrats! Very cool choice of tolex. And nice work on the headshell too. Looking forward to seeing the finished result. :thumbsup:

Cheers guys! I'm so stoked with how this guitar turned out. For sure. :yes:

I splurged a bit on the roasted flame maple neck and JWP bridge pickup which pushed the price north of $2000 USD. But a more straightforward build can come in under 2K.

Man it plays like an old favorite. The perfect neck/board for me.

Haha same here. Far too many ideas but not enough bread to go with them.

Thanks D. I went with Seymour Duncan Cool Rails neck and middle. And splurged on a JWP Godwood for the bridge. Turns out the Godwood isn't a good fit sonically for this guitar, so I'll be swapping it out.

Yeah same here. I took a bit of a risk with this one. Although technically it's brass. :D

This thing is awesome! Plays so nice and sounds mean. Now it's near impossible to do a black guitar justice with pics. But I gave it a shot.

Sounds great! Nice playing too. :thumbsup:

The Magica arrived a few days ago and the cab just got here today. The Achillies 2x12 has a Greenback on top and a Vintage 30 on the bottom. Tonally it's a perfect match. While I was waiting for the new 2x12 I tried the Magica through my 4x12 with the Redback/Creamback H75 x-pattern, and it just...

Looks great! What do you think of the Pariah Pasadena pickup?

Nice score! Love me some superstrat action! :rock:

Agreed with all the comments above. The Redbacks are thick and mean. They bring a heavy controlled low end and mix well with most any bright speaker. I prefer an X-pattern in my 4x12. X-pattern with Creamback 75s doing high gain:

Nice rig! I have a couple of Lehle products and they work a treat.

Sounds raw and mega pissed. Nice lead tone too. Congrats! :thumbsup:
