Now, what to start on next... I'd start playing that tele is what I'd do. Thats a pretty cool ax you got there (although the pickguard is a little loud for my personal tastes ).

That's one SWEEET Tele. I love the pickguard!
I'd like to hear your take on the Joe Barden pickups-- I think I'm the only other guy on the Z forum that has them, and I love them..

Thanks everyone for the comments. I'm really excited about this one and have enjoyed the process of making the changes. I'd like to hear your take on the Joe Barden pickups-- I think I'm the only other guy on the Z forum that has them, and I love them.. The Bardens are just amazing pickups. You would think that they would be missing some of that sweetness because they are noiseless, but they are not missing any of that. I find that they give you the Tele twang, but are very versatile and respond magically to picking nuances. They sound good with overdrive as well, but they're not made for heavy-gain.

Fabulous! Well done. I'm getting ready to start building an Esquire type but it will be a long way behind that beauty methinks! I've got Bardens on my Tele, getting em' tamed took a bit of trial and error, really like them now.
