My VIP finally home and safe!

[Last Triumph]

Well -  here it is! 

Not a lot I can really add to that - I simply stunned.

 

[stubhead]

Woo. Was that a "pick your own top" selection? It's like caramel candy or something - I'm not sure you're allowed to touch it. Too bad you have to send it back - cause it's backwards. They even got the nut upside down!

 

[fdesalvo]

Gorgeous!  The orientation does freak me out though haha.  Is that a DiMarzio?

Yes - Dimarzio F Spaced 'Norton' for the bridge and a regular spaced 'Air Norton' for the neck .

It wasn't available when I ordered it, so they had to do it as a one off.

It's not as yellow as tigers eye, yet richer and warmer and more dynamic than a brown or amber dye.

I love it and glad I took the risk.

Holy mackerel! That is one gorgeous body! Hard to believe that stuff grows in trees.

I wonder sometimes if the Warmoth folks have a little post-partum depression sending parts like that out?

 

[Tipperman]

I just ruined my pants and my office chair. Stunning, dude.

I suspect the biggest problem with working for them isn't the starting wages, it's that no matter how much you make, you get negative paychecks.... I mean, we've seen a few of the beauts that Gregg and TFS made off with, can you imagine the ones they're NOT showing us?

I hope you can see you your (my?) neck fits in with the program now?

Like I said on the phone - far too nice to actually play!  :binkybaby:

Still need a name for it....
