So, some of you are aware I had wrestled with the idea of a refinish of my 95 custom 24 to top. After much thought and suggestions from friends and forum members I sent off my favorite prs to get a make over.

Before she went of I did mod her to the specs i wanted on pickups and wiring of electronics.

dragon II to ME pickups
upgraded saddles- old ones where tarnished and checking
amber control knobs to clear
5 way rotary to 3 way toggle, and coil tap on tone.
changed strap buttons to gold

PICs before the send off

While I was having the Great folks at PTC work on the new color. I decided to change out the wing tuners to phase III--it was a nice surprise to see the tuner knobs where changed to gold to match the hybrid hardware on the pickups. First pick is from Matt at PTC.

And as I had hoped, the figuring of the maple comes out very nicely with this color.
 
No more cherry sunburst??? Oh, the humanity!!!

The new finish looks spectacular! Congrats.
