Going for something like this, with less aging
I've got a KnE Charvel body. I matched it with a Pro-Mod neck and the neck pocket was as tight as you'd hope.
That's going to be a sweet guitar. Double creams and brass hardware is as good as it gets.
I recently found, on the Japanese Yahoo Auctions, a set of Gotoh crownhead tuners for $20. Twenty fucking bucks. They were 3+3, but I was to put the buttons on a new set of Gotohs. I totally fucked up the bidding process and they slipped through my fingers.

Frigging beautiful, you and I have very similar tastes in relicing... the more thrashed the better...

I know this is an older thread but where did you get the pickup rings from? It's hard to find good high quality ones these days.

Just seeing this. Love this project 
I'm one of those that went from hating relic'd guitars to loving them. I especially love the relic'd floyd - and I'm not a floyd guy. Out of curiously, and you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but how much would this guitar be worth if you sold it?

I've got about $1350 plus into it. Anyone who's played it can attest that it's not your typical parts guitar. Ive got even less into my purple sparkle guitar

How do you go about aging your brass parts? I have a brass bridge I'm looking to age and was curious cause your stuff turned out fantastic.

75% hydrogen peroxide, 25% distilled vinegar and a few dashes of salt. This created peracetic acid. You're pretty safe if you get it on your skin. It's not as quick as muriatic I usually be just drop parts in a and periodically check them ever few minutes with a plastic spoon
