It's on it's way buddy, seems to be a issue with shipping to Aussie land, it took almost a month for AussiePete to get his pup rings I sent him... Don't know what's going on... :dontknow:

Nice job! I especially like that neck. Kinda busy in the control area, but if you can make it work I'm sure it gives you lotsa options.

Thanks Cagey

Neck is nice indeed, here is how it looked in the showcase ...

Wow Updown - that is gorgeous  ccasion14: I just found your build thread  :hello2:

It's similar to the one I ordered isn't it - and that is a good thing - if mine turns out anything like yours I'll be very very happy  :guitaristgif:

The more I study what you have done Updown - the more I am digging the shape of your pickguard. I think it looks better than a standard pickguard and really shows the wood off.

Would it bother you too much if I copied the idea? Did you just use a router with a 45 degree bit and a template guide to mod a standard guard?

Go right ahead my friend ... of cause you can  :icon_thumright:

I'm not a windmill player & wanted to show more flame / wood. Thats why I did it & the Blue one is having the same too.

When I 1st did that, I hadn't seen that done before... But have since found someone else that did very similar.

I've had a look at the ones you posted in the gallery. I think your shape is more tasteful and pleasing to the eye. It looks like very standard issue and the contours are very balanced - that's hard to do on something that is asymmetric by nature. The straight diagonal line across the neck also makes the shape pleasing to the eye.

Look forward to the extra pics you mentioned.
