i'm placing an order with stew mac, hopefully by the end of the day, with the complete list of things i need to finish my project guitar.

here's what i'm doing and here's what i think i need. just let me know if you guys can think of something i missed so don't have to re-order anything

+ Sand the headstock/body and refinish with new paint
- finished sanding now i need to paint. i'm ordering this paint and this sealer for the guitar.

+ dye the fretboard ebony
- already have the ebony stain from my last project, so i don't need anymore.

+ sand the back of the neck and refinish with tung-oil
- already sanded it and i have the tung-oil.

+ remove the old inlays and put in new neon green inlays (UV7BK style) - on the way!!
- just removed the old inlays, and waiting for the new ones. the guy mentioned ELMER's epoxy, he said he uses it for installing inlays. i can get it at home depot/lowes. other suggestions???

+ change the old trem for an ibanez trs trem (thanks adam!)
- trem on teh way!

+ rewire the dimarzio blaze bridge/neck with a 3-way toggle and drill the body to install two on/on switches, one to split the neck and one to split the bridge.
- thinking about getting this wiring kit and two of these on/on switches for the splitting.

once that's done i think i just need to string it up and i want to do ADGCFAD so i need some higher gauged strings. no clue what exactly.

anything i'm missing???
