Beautiful! Very happy for you Norman, and well done to all those who had a hand in producing this masterpiece!

Thats one Epic looking guitar ! :applause:

Hi Norman, it took a while but it was certainly worth the wait. You have a very nice looking guitar and I'm sure it sounds as good as it looks. I think I have said before that I love Flame and that is absolutely beautiful.
Congratulations on a job well done !!! Enjoy.

i do yeah.. not really a fan of birds eye, but this neck didnt have too much, so i didnt mind!
the fingerboard is a seperate slab, which is why i could get the nice flamey one ?

Thanks Shaun. Wayne's paintwork is extraordinary, and the neck is quite the looker.. you wouldnt guess there was a problem with the first tint coat that had to be removed and redone!
And Costa's assembly and setup is top notch. the neatness of the wiring and solder is just what i would expect for my pride and joy!

Thanks so much Ajile! yeah, it was quite a wait, but perfection takes time! and i didnt want to rush either craftsman, because i have to live with this one!
so i wanted it done properly, and had no worries waiting like i did! ?
