Not often I finish what I started....or even start for that matter. This began as a Firefly Red Bat with gold hardware (stock Firefly before picture included). I actually soldered in pickups and a black switch today! No smoke alarms or 2nd degree burns. Swapped in a black TUSQ nut and presto! Thanks to Tobijohn for recommending the Guitar Madness pickups.

looks great.

Much better! Actually it looks a helluva lot like my Prophecy SG did...I don't have a before picture of it, but it was also all gold HW and I blackened it similarly.Image

Nice!
