NGD Valley Arts(?)/Schecter(?)

[Thesius]

Just came in today. Body seems to be an MIJ Valley Arts paired with an MIJ Schecter neck. The current neck plays fine, but the inlays are actually stickers, and I'd like something different aesthetically so I'll be getting a new one made. The pickup ring holes were filled in. I thought about putting it back on, but I dig the look. Current pickups are Duncan SJBJ-1b, Duncan SSL-6, and Duncan TB-6. I plan on swapping those out for some cream/gold pole Dimarzios.

Nahhh. Looks fine how it is now. I'd rather just do a pickup ring instead of a whole pickguard haha

Looks sexy as is but yeah... with cream/ gold pole pickups it's gonna be stunning. Curious to see what neck you'll eventually go with. Not sure why just peeling off the stick on inlays isn't an option cause that neck goes really well with the blue body color. Congrats... great score.

They're just stickers sadly? Thankfully...

Damn that's a great looking guitar. I had to look closer to even see the pickup ring holes... I'd probably leave the ring off too.

Did you take the neck off or did the seller say it was a Valley Arts? (idk anything about them)

I want different wood/inlays. I think a flame maple neck and offsets are the play here

Seller said it is a Valley Arts body with a MIJ Schecter neck. I assume the body is an MIJ Valley Arts because the control cavities only match some Japanese models I've seen.

Oh shit I didn't notice the flame on the back... Is it a one piece flamed body?
