Now, that's got a lot of potential! I'm liking the overall construction a lot. (and the P90's a nice touch too!)
I think I'd be inclined to strip that gloss finish and re-do her in a Tung/Danish oil or something non-shiny.
But the hi-fi knobs have gotta go, eh? Pick guard is an odd shape too.
Another great score Sean.

I think... I'm in love!
I'd really like to get my hands on one of these. I know I adore my cherry double-cut version:

Hey Charles, I'll have 2 in my possession after the new year. I'll let you know which one I'll be moving along.
How is your neck? Is the bridge as mediocre as mine? I'm thinking of getting an intonatable one.

A Badass style wraparound bridge should enhance things nicely. And may as well throw on some nice machine heads too.

I would be happy to hear from you when you have one to offload!

I love the heck out of mine - feels great up and down the neck, but I'm very easy to please

The bridge is OK. Mine does have a couple of set screws at the posts, for a little intonation fiddling.
