Cool, show us more Mike
Mike you cant tease us like this!! ?
Mmph! We wanna see more... ?
So I picked up this lady today.. She needs some work, specifically a string tree, 2 push pulls, cream pickup covers and there's a possibility of redoing the wiring entirely with a super switch.






I still drool over this. One of the nicest paint jobs I've seen, enjoy her Mike...
What a beaut!!
congrats thats very nice Mike
Luvverly stuff! I like the neck...
DROOOL!! That is truly stunning! That screams class! Please keep us posted on this beauty!

Looks fantastic man, congrats. ?
I like the open cavity with the springs, too pretty to drill. Great photos as well.

So... When are you going to put it in the classifieds? Seems to be fashionable these days ?
@Gecko, It's quite different from your shadowburst, not as ghosty looking, both are awesome though!
@Alan, it's also very, VERY comfortable. Slight U on the treble side and C on the bass side.
@Makepeace, hahah it definitely needs a logo!!
@Rein, thanks, it was a bitch to get the lighting right.
@Gearhead, Same time I list the Gibson ?

Probably the nicest neck I've ever had my hands on 

Man... I just paged through this whole thread again... If I ever have the guts to put together a la cabronita I'm sooooo getting the body and neck from Marc Rutters (the pictures have also cemented black and white as the colour scheme... pure class)!
Ps what is the deal with the controls on the guitar? Has it got some funky wiring at the moment that it only uses two knobs (I'm assuming the middle is a pot without a knob)? Which Kinmans did you go with?
