I'm probably not in the market at that price, but it would be interesting to have a list of all the parts used in its current iteration.

Sure:
Pickups are from http://www.vintagevibeguitars.com/pickup_sc.html Very cork-sniffy.
Body is alder and from MJT (guitar weighs 7.75lbs so I guess the body's on the light side).
Neck is from a Custom Shop '69 reissue. Original tuners.
Pickguard is AllParts I think. Decent one, anyway.
New blender loom from Tone Lounge.
New Gotoh trem.

The neck was the really expensive part and was the starting-point. If it had a Mexi neck or some such it'd be a sight cheaper.

I'm resolving, really trying to resolve that is, to just sell bits now. When I'm done I'll likely have the two combos, a 212, Strat, Radian Tele, P90 PRS, and my R7. All joking and the inevitable 'Yeah, right...' aside, that's where I'm hoping to be. Got a few pickups, Les Paul bridge, tuners etc. to sell too. That's a job for tonight.

That all makes sense to me as a strategy, and maybe you've found the right guitars now that will 'stick'

But if you have, this forum is going to be a whole lot duller going forward(!)

Looks like it's a keeper. The Wildwood just sold. So, UV light time it is!

So, this is the finished thing. Swapped the relic MJT body with oleg for his (my old) AllParts NOS-type jobbie.
