Perpetual musical mid-life crisis
Speechless!
Truly exceptional! Congrats on a real beauty.... super jelly!Ok. This was 1 1/2 years in the making. There were obstacles along the way, but the PS team was great in resolving issues. I’m just glad it’s finally home. Also, thanks to Jack Gretz, Paul Miles, and Shawn for their help through the process.
I’ll let the pics speak for themselves:
Part of the trouble was due to the material (gold MOP) chosen for the original block bird inlays seen in the photo below of some guy in the factory giving it final inspection. The MOP cracked due to the radius of the fret board. A decision was made to go with a different inlay pattern at that point. We also decided to satin the neck (I know, I know already! ;-) ).

I’m not the only one to experience the cracking [with block birds] I’m told.
How does it sound?
