maybe Vai should get this color on some of his guitars, looks pretty bright greenish yellow - dig it
 
Guys I'm being a bit anal but should I drill out the holes for the pickup ring screws and such? Real worried if I screw them in without a little foreplay it will chip the paint? The original holes are there just not as open as they were.
 
If you redrill them out, I would "Reverse" Drill them a little so that when you drill forward it does not chip out. Drilling in the normal direction from the start will tend to lift the surface.
 
Looks great. I wanna see it all spiffed up with the hardware and strings though! :thumbsup:
 
Drilling without chipout isn't as simple as it may seem. Ask the dude that painted it. My guess is it's fine to just install as-is, assuming the holes are big enough for the components to fit through.
 
Yeah the holes are there I am just being super anal as this thing looks so bad ass. I will try and do it tonight. I did email Marty who has been awesome through the whole process.
 
Here it is back together. Thing is just awesome. Almost puts the Custom Shop I just got to shame. Crappy Iphone pic.
