... control cavity,

I went mad and did the pup cavities and trem space as well!! :roll:

And here's Swamp Thing, all tricked out and ready to pull your nuts off!!

... and with her pointy stable mate...

Now, when I cut the finish back for the final polish, I found I quite liked the semi gloss effect, so at the moment it is cut but not polished.

I'll take some more pix later as I've just strung it up and am whacking some noise out of it; oh, yes; it roars!! Nothing flash like coil tap or phase reverse here, buddy: just clamp it on and kill the audience... it has a very up front sound... more on that later when the neck settles down and the tuning is a bit more stable...

Well done, John. I'm sure the Invader is very happy to have a pointy friend now. Pretty pair of mats! :up:
:cheers:
