Ecca,

A work of art mate! It doesn't need a name, it speaks for itself.

Ecca,
You wouldn't get it on the headstock but I would call it "Absoluteperfectionocaster"
Beautiful instrument

[ecca]

Doesn't it look smashing ?

Best looking umbrella ive seen for a long while lol bet you dont find one of those in B&Q

What a great idea, lovely guitar you must be well pleased

Cheers

The guitar looks great. Were you fortunate enough that the neck width exactly fitted the pocket? Or was there some subtle 'pruning' or 'packing' to make it fit? And was the body already sprayed black and polished, or was that something that you did (or had done)?

The alder body was £18 + carriage from a body maker in Hong Kong, already painted.
The Burns neck is 2 3/16", same as strat, it fitted beautifully.
The pick-ups are Tonerider Vintage.
The trem is a Wilkinson V100 which I also fitted on my Cakeocaster and it's the best of the lot, Kahler, Floyd Rose, Stetsbar, I've tried em all.
The bottom tone control works on the bridge pick-up and I've put a push-pull switch so as to bring the same pick-up in at any time.
All other bits from Axesrus.

A pure beauty, absolutely wonderful.
I would love to find a Burns neck like this but i suppose it's hard to find...

I bought 2 Burns Marquee necks from Sir Maurice of Flunglobbununt some years back and I've now built 2 Burnsocaster type guitars from them.

PS there's a Burns Marquee neck on ebay right now..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Burns-Marquee-Neck-/260848487790?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item3cbbc80d6e

Thank you for the link.
