This was the previous mod. Of course I wanted more modifications, here they are 🙂
First, a blue neck on a red body was fun for a moment but at the end I stripped the blue paint off
<to add the pic of the back>
Then, I wanted to add a neck pickup, having only one bridge pickup is too limiting for me – I’m playing maybe 90% of the time with a neck pickup and adding one would make this guitar more useful for me.

With or without the pickguard:
