Looking good! ToneBomb makes good stuff. Great woods and high quality craftsmanship. I love my Warmoth/ToneBomb One Piece Ash Bodied Hellacaster!
Edit: First Pic is the first ToneBomb Body I bought; a single humbucker Ash In Butterscotch Blonde.

Ha! Right. I did go Ash so not that different but the MJ would Duncan HBs and OFR make a statement.
Love the Walnut; always been curious about the tone and your finish looks damn fine. Will look forward to seeing it progress to completion.

Re: Thinline tele build
Looks pretty cool.
I tried contacting this shop to inquire about a Tele body. I went to fill out the contact form about custom work, but none of the fields tell me what information to type in them. I can assume the top one is my name, the bottom one is the special request, and the other two are e-mail and subject...but it's unclear what goes where. How do you get in contact with this shop?
