A before and after. While the figuring does pop a bit more in version 1, I much prefer the color and subtlety of version 2! Note the FU Tone Floyd which was an expensive and ineffective attempt to emulate a proper OFR.  Burrito 1.2 has the real deal!

Yeah, still not getting the connection between what was likely an awful dance film and what will likely be an awesome guitar. :P

Awesome, that looks great! Are the LEDs tough to install?

You'd have to ask @HELShane at HEL Guitars. He's building these.

Oh, I thought you were building. Sorry, my reading comprehension is sometimes complete crap. :D

Anyway, looks great!
