Very nice. That's a nice birdseye top and matching neck. Very clean look.

Great looking guitar. Only the moniker needs remedial attention.

How do you like that Gotoh wraparound bridge ? I liked the concept and bought the Black Schaller version for my first build before I knew what the hell I was doing, and discovered it didn't work on a flat top. It's a killer looking bridge, so I just saved it for future use. Did you have Warmoth do an angled pocket ?

Love it. It's the first time I used a bridge that wasn't a tele or strat style bridge. No on the angled pocket.
