the red painting still is the original, just to show how I want it to be. The luthier will repaint just like the photo, and maintain the wood exposed. I will put an acrilic pickguard and paint the interior with black. What do ya think?

It looks promising. I'd like to see it when it's finished. What pups are you putting in it?

It was originally H-S-S, All Ibanez JAPAN. I´m Thinking about a trem JB and a Little 59. What do ya think?

What´s the difference between the 59 and the 59 jr? Does the sound changes or just the size?

Sounds like a cool combo. In my experience, there's not much of a tonal difference. The magnetic field is a little smaller, probably resulting in a lower output. I've never A/B'd two of them in a guitar, but I've used both the JB and the JB Jr. The JB Jr. is probably closer to a real JB than anything else out there, to my ears.
