Build #2: Beginning Phase

So, as I finish up the first build (I'm crossing my fingers that it will be this weekend), I already have a plan for the next build.

Hardware: Black nickle bridge and tuning machines
Pickups:  EMG MetalWorks H4 & H4A Black Chrome (I'm going to use standard H4 and H4A in the Les Paul instead, since the black matches the solid black hardware better)

This is going to be a black on black guitar... It'll look pretty sweet when all is said and done.

It'll look something like this:
