Now there's a word I haven't heard in decades!

Here's an earlier work in progress shot for those that are interested...



It's still in the clearcoat stage. Once it's back in my hands I'll throw up a bunch of pics of the finished guitar as well as the floyd conversion.

heard a lot about mike's work.... never seen one. d&d is not my cup of tea but wow! what a paint job, that's awesome!

[Hellbat]

Well I finally got to take my own pictures of the guitar. It looks amazing in person. The guitar plays fantastically as well, Mike did a killer job on the fretwork. The fret edges are kind of rolled like a pro-mod.

There was an error on the build. It was supposed to have an unfinished/tru-oil neck but Mike ended up painting and clearing it. He made it right by me however and I'm still thrilled with the end result.

As far as work done besides the paint, the guitar had a level/crown/polish, the tuners were replaced with locking Schaller tuners. An OFR was installed and a nut shelf was made/installed to hold the floyd nut. Mike also cut a new truss rod cover as well. Anyways, enough with the jibber-jabber, here's the porn...

Pretty Damn Awesome. The Symmetry and Color is Great, Killer design, You must be happy as hell.

[Hellbat]

I am! The guitar always sounded awesome, but now it plays better than ever and looks killer to boot. My RR1T is already giving it dirty looks.

Thanks for your business Drew. It did play sweet after it was all set up. The frets came out real nice. Plenty of room on them. The pics are fantastic. Do you mind if I use them for my website?

[Hellbat]

You are welcome to use the pics any way you'd like Mike. If you want full size (12 megapixel) versions for cropping or anything, let me know and I'll email them to you.
