After picking up the Gibson M-III Standard off CL recently, I've shelved the ideas for the Claw SRV and One Piece Mahogany Tele and have those bodies up for sale (on eBay currently).

I found myself still wanting one more Strat Type to accompany my '88 B.C. Rich Gunslinger Assassin "Graffiti" and really wanted to use The Claw so I picked up a F/F Blue Modded Baretta Body off of eBay:

Usual components...SD APS-1 Neck/DiMarzio "Proto" F Bridge, Gibson 500K Vol/Gibson 3 Way Toggle, OFR, Kramer Neck Plate “F 3074”...I'll be dropping it off for assembly today.

Nicely done...I can't wait to see it finished...Sweet color....is that "Ford Grabber blue"?
 
Re: Kramer Flip Flop Blue Baretta

Thanks for the kind words. It's a Kramer "Flip Flop Blue", kind of Color Shifts depending upon light and angle. I can see the Ford Color Comparison though.

Yeah, I kind of get a concept in mind and if it works and I like it 100%, I'll retain it, if it's cool but not necessarily what I had envisioned, I pass it on.

I also attempt to limit myself to 6 or so electrics (2 LP Type, 2 Strat Types, 2 Tele Types, maybe a Neck Thru and 1 Acoustic) so if something comes in, something else has to go..."theoretically" anyway! :)

That's cool. Can't believe someone actually modded a Baretta body like that but it looks like it was done well. You need a JB in the bridge of that bad boy.

Thanks. Yeah, my first Baretta, a 1986 Kline "Space" #24 od 62 Was modded the same way.
