That Explorer is cool. I also really like that Sega Genesis style Metallica Damage inc poster.
Have you built a Tribute guitar?

Me too. It's from a concert in Europe that I didn't go to, but the poster was so cool I had to have it.

I forgot about the Mason Tele!

I gotta get that one done. A mini-hum is a terrible thing to waste.

Did you end up with a burgundy Hot Stack or a white one?

I'm doing a "quasi" copy. I'm putting something different in the middle. Not exactly sure what just yet. I'm thinking Cool Rails or Five-Two, especially since I have both in stock.

That would also be . . . uh, hot!

I have a 2016 Fender MIM strat i basically made into an Alex Lifeson "Lerxt" copy of the white one he used in the 80s. Floyd 1000 series, SH-9 Silverbird in the bridge, with a 3 way toggle down on the lower horn. I will post a pic in the next few days.

I have 2, but they are not exact replicas.
My Ace tribute from my anti-DiMarzio days. So it is loaded with a Custom/Jazz from back in the days one could pull the covers off.
The other is a Lead II like the other guitarist played in my first band. The Lead II neck twisted around the truss rod and could not be cost effectively saved. So it has a '72 Tele Deluxe replacement neck.

Finished.
In the end I cheated and bought a pre-painted Chinese body off eBay. My lousy rattle can spray painting and a couple of other problems.
Anyway.
The spec is a pre-painted Chinese body and neck from eBay, solid mahogany with a rosewood fretboard, Dean "Lights Out" pickups, Grover locking tuners, Gotoh stoptail, Guyker roller saddle bridge, TusqXL nut. The electronics are DIY with three CTS 500K push-pulls giving individual coil splits and phase flipping the bridge pickup. The pickguard came from pickguards.com. the output jack was moved to the tip of the lower V by yours truly.
