My Viper Blue San Demon

I liked the Viper Blue so much I wanted to use it again. This is a Northern Ash Body and pretty damn fine Birdseye Neck if I may say so myself; the markers are Abalone. Old non-fine tuner Floyd, Vintage Schallers, a '59, and Volume only. This is a test fit. The finished product will have a serious shine. Can't wait to plug this one in!
I made a pickup ring from the same piece of Birdseye as my neck.

dude, that is bada$$! i have been holding back buying one of those necks fom you. i thought it might be cool to send you the boogie bodies to make a duplicate, but i think you have it down pretty damn close. ups would end up running over it with a forklift or dropping it out of an airplane anyway. you are doing some awesome work there. did you get a chance to make that brass block?

All set up and ready to rock! I used my WarEd pickup in it, and now all it needs is the pickup ring.

Really nice job, Divebomb, and a beautiful paintjob!!
Question: Is the locking nut more or less for nostalgia purposes? I cant see how it would get tightened without affecting the guitars tuning, and not having fine tuners on the Floyd... I guess Im kinda out of the Floyd loop, being a hardtail kinda guy of late, but I cant see how you'd be able to get the tuning right on if you used the locking nut. When I had Floyd equipped guitars, that nut always pulled it slightly out of tune, until the fine tuners were tweaked.
