...how come I don't see Spud playing prog ?! 
Great catch, mate - and at a very attractive price ! ! !
Cool stuff, Fred ! That's what makes this forum !
Beej offered me help long time ago with my Pearl Lavender Silo SPecial. Luckily, I didn't have to bother him, but always highly appreciated ! ! !

Dang Spud! What took you so long?!!
Welcome to the best club EVER!
If I were a bit more successful I'd be in the Luke, AL, and Silo clubs as well...

Hey Kev,
No problem. Congrats, that was quite a score if I have to say so myself.
I went and looked at it and told the guy I might be interested but would get back to him. After I reported back to Spud about the details he said to go for it.
I made the guy an offer and I thought he was going to blow me off. I was getting ready to leave on Thursday for a fishing trip for the weekend when he called back and said he'd take the offer. I made a beeline over there before he changed his mind and collected the guitar and the original pickup. I'll swap it out and get the Peavey EVH back to him.
It's a roadog and needs a little TLC bit for that price it was a steal. Why he decided to paint a Mystic Dream Pearl White is anybody's guess.
I'll take some pics and post the before shots and Spud can post the after shots...

That was a great gesture on your part - Once again thank you very much for everything you have done for me.
I look forward to seeing some more photos but as you have more pressing commitments, just take your time on that one. .
It could become the first 24 fret/AL with chambered body/Piezo/Pet trem/ HSH guitar/swamp ash body.
- but I'd have to give it a good play in it's present format
-anybody give shredding lessons?

Wow... I'm pretty sure that's a sin to do that to a MM guitar!
What are your plans for the finish, spud? What about a natural JP?! That would be pretty cool, but I don't think basswood is known for it's looks... Keep us informed!

I know - why respray a mystic dream??
But still it's condition is reflected in the price.
I will leave it as it is for now but if I did respray it - I would do it in black.
I'll see what the wood is like before I do it, to see if leaving it natural is an option.
Because the headstock has been sprayed I'd need to consider making a silkscreen to get it looking like it's orininal guise.
Plans are pretty fluid at the mo, but if I can't get on with the position of the lower toggle switch I am seriosly considering making another body out of swamp ash - that way I would have 2 guitars (well one and a half really).
I love the Pet neck - I was so surprised when I tried one.
Going by Fred's pictures the neck has some great figuring.
Looking forward to this!!!

Spud you so crazy !
That's gonna be good - I need to get a shot of Lum's JP to see if my tine head can get around 24 frets!

I really do not mind the battle scars on it.
My Les Paul earned it's keep and it also has the scars that could tell a few tales.
I love my Als and my EVH but it's like walking on eggshells trying to keep them in that condition.
I'll give the JP some TLC that's for sure, but I have ideas floating around.
Guitar with Piezo for the $ that I paid for it - great deal I say.
I think the saving grace is that I know one of the best guitar makers in the UK and will be seeking advice from the ol' sage.

Hey spud,
I didn't see the piezo - yes indeed - a total steal!
