fargin' sick, Dave. The back shots look just as sexy as the front ones. Looks like two different guitars.

Amazing work. Can't wait to see those outdoor pics. Make sure to give us a full review of how she plays once the set up is done!

[Sinistas]

Now THAT was worth the wait. Awesome work!

[El Chiguete]

Nice work friend.

...and what a lesson to Jackson/Charvel on how to build a truly stunning piece!

That's a resurrection at it's finest.

Top looks great, the old bridge looks cool, and the P-90's say "I'm custom made".

The knob tops are the sweet icing on it's cake.

[mhalsey]

Holy shit, Dave! (that's all I can say)

[Gunner]

That's real cool.

That looks great, Dave. Gorgeous birsdeye and awesome work. Congrats!

A question about the string ferrule placement. Your arrangement certainly looks cool. However, I had always thought it was best to put ST ferrule placement in positions to get as reasonably sharp an angle as possible between ferrule & TOM bridge saddle? I had always been told this was best for sustain? Obviously, there's some "wiggle room" for placement designs, like V shapes. Just curious.

Exceptionally nice! Great work, Dave!

I've heard that as well but I can assure you, when I mocked this up with the bridge, I had no disappointing results whatsoever. I was actually worried about sympathetic vibrations happening but I think since the longest string is the low E, it's not noticable at all. I sat this next to other guitars of mine (acoustically), and I hear no dead spots or lifeless strings. So far so good!
