What is this guitar?
A few years back, I came across a guitar in the staging area of a pawn shop. I saw it, played it briefly, and bought it immediately after. I know nothing about it, but I'm hoping to gain some more knowledge about it by running it by the collective.
First things first - here's a picture:
This is what I know:
I believe the pickguard is nickel. There are four custom parts; the guard, the bridge cover, the plug cover, and a truss rod cover.
The body is swamp ash.
The neck is from a Peavey T-90 - however, it is clearly not a Peavey T-90.
It's a telecaster-style body
I think it is custom engraved - I haven't seen anything else like it ever (Teisco's from the 70s were close), but I'm hoping someone knows something about this that I don't. The engraving is absolutely stunning, and it really doesn't look like an amateur did it. Any information about value would be awesome as well. Is there anything I can look for to get more information about it?

If you think that the neck isn't stock,and the pickguard doesn't seem to be, it is fully possible that it is a partocaster :) I am actually currently toying around with the idea of assembling a Strat from parts.
I reckon that the Guitar is a Peavey Reactor Telecaster, probably a Reactor AX, because only they had the Swamp ash bodies, whereas the standard Reactor had a Poplar body. These guitars are quite cheap, and so a lot of people buy them and customise them up. I have been searching for the pickguard for sale for a bit now and I cannot find it anywhere, sadly, as it is awesome. I am particularly intrigued by the bridge pickup cover.
Sorry I can't help more.
