Yep, GMW can build you one. Here's my neckthru that Lee built for me. Dan Lawrence did the graphic.

damn cool stuff there.

I still think the concept of that sub camo is cool. I remember Newc explained it how it worked. something about the light spectrum....orange being the opposite of blue, so under the water, the orange blended in with the blue and the black & white spots looked like a school of fish or something from the air. pretty clever. I cant remember..... was it the Russians or Germans who used this orange camo?? was it during WWII ???

Johnny,

How long was the build time from order to delivery?

Also keep in mind I don't believe GMW will do the banana headstock shape if that's important to you. Their headstock shape looks cool in this finish though.

Goddamnit Almost NO one does freakin' banana headstocks. Either gotta import ESP's from Japan or custom builds from Yugoslavia or where ever. Friggin' Gibson jack-offs!

Used to be a guy on ebay doing them.
Here is one of his necks and body.

Looks like a giant surf-green dildo.

Johnny,

I placed the order at the end of Dec. '09 and the guitar was finished in June '10. So it took less than 6 months for Lee to build this one. But keep in mind, this is a neck through build with a 3 piece maple neck with ebony and pearl inlays, which added a little time to build. If it were a standard strat size body with a bolt on maple neck it would have gone through quicker as Lee tends to runs bodies and necks in batches and usually has a few on hand at any one time (unless you order an exotic wood or specify an special neck profile or something).

You are correct, GMW doesn't build necks with banana headstocks anymore, only their Traditional and Millennium heads. Not sure why this would matter for Lynch sub camo build though since Lynch's sub had a reverse pointy head. But I have to agree with you that this graphic looks awesome on the GMW Millennium headstock. Dan did an amazing job with tying in the graphic on the back of the head and back of the neck. It could be one of my favorite graphics that Dan has done.
