Gorgeous! Sully you do awesome work!

VitG, how did you get your Photobucket hotlinks to work flawlessly? Are you paying for a subscription? As you might have heard, Photobucket is holding free users' images for ransom: https://www.google.ca/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=...obucket+ransom Many of my images are now "broken" because of this ransom.

I had heard about that. I'm still a lowly free user.

Don't know if I'm doing anything differently, but I copy'n'paste the "Direct" url and it seems to be working.

Good looking axe!

Love that, Gary! Congrats.

I also have the free Photobucket and haven't had a problem.

Yeah, they've started emailing me threats about 3rd party pic hosting violating their terms, and now you have to pay for that service. Methinks Photobucket's business model no longer works.

Great looking Sully guitar, VG!

Not to get off topic, but yeah my photobucket did the same thing. Needless to say I'll no longer be using their services.

Since we're getting off topic, I started a separate thread to discuss this Photobucket ransom fiasco: http://www.jcfonline.com/threads/153...om-quot-(P500)

Thanks all. While I've supported Sully's endeavors from afar for years, I've always hoped that the guitars he is building are as nice as they look on social media. To date my only hands on experience has been with JS-0002, a parts guitar I bought from him years ago. It's a good guitar (with a ridiculous rosewood slab fretboard and great sounding SD Custom), but he didn't make the neck or body.

I'm happy to report that this is a stunning guitar, solidly built. There were no excuses and no allowances just because I know the guy who built it. The finish is superb, Grover's special sauce pickups sound fantastic and the guitar plays beautifully. This is my first plekked guitar so don't know if they all play like this but wow - it's just...wow. Even not knowing Sully, I think most people would be duly impressed by the quality of this instrument. I'm beyond pleased with it.

Nice Gary! Nice Sully!!

Had its first hitout with the band at practice on Saturday. Sounded great with the band. It will see live action this weekend. We're playing a 4 hour charity gala on Saturday so it will earn its keep.
