Man, I love that fretboard! In the close-up, it looks like a beautifully figured piece of CB. In the long shot it looks like red smoke rising in a night sky. Very sweet.

It's in the final curing area, and I can't really wiggle in there - but here's what I could see today:

Next week I'll be able to get you a better back view when it can come out of the booth.

Not necessary to go to the dealer. Should go straight to you. Mine did.

We were ready, but didn't know we were drop shipping to you until your post. We got everything sorted out with your dealer and it's now on the way to you, but here's a preview of what you're in for:

It's a great instrument, you are going to flip out when you start playing it.

Hey,Guys.Well, I love it.Took a few days to figure out that it didn't have a phase shifter in it.I'm still getting used to the electronics.So many sounds I can get.I did have to adjust the truss rods,no big deal,and Damn it's,well,the best.The craftsmanship I shouldnt have to say is FINE.The finerist.Oh,in case anybody cares,the first song I tried was Sugar Magnolia,brought tears to my eyes.And I dont care.
