:hello:Hey guys, first post here, long time lurker. I have these posted up at VR but I thought it would be nice to show come love here. Let me know what you think. Here are some of the build specs. McCarty body

DGT frets
Braz fretboard - Changed to Cocobolo, you'll see why
Figured mahogany back
Flamed Top - PRSh helped me pick the top, he really didn't want to give it to me, it was between the one I selected and one that was set aside to become a collection. :0
Inlays.... Wait and see
408 pickups and electronics
Compound radius fretboard 10"-14"
Trem
Phase III tuners
Finish... Something new!

I was amazed by that back. so stripey! I'm bummed about it just a little, I wanted to get matching trem cavity and electronics covers but the piece needed to be thicker for them to do that.
 
Can't wait to see how it turns out. That back looks incredible.

Gaaaaaaaa! What ^^^ they said!
 
Can't wait to see the finished result! I'm sure it'll be absolutely killer.
 
Thanks for all the kind words. I hope you all enjoy the process with me!I may be heading back again this month for another creation! Why is it so damn addicting??
 
Awesome color!

looks like 80s stonewashed jeans under extremely 80s black light.

Let's call it"80s basement party"
