Congrats [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Still a shame that your inlay design showed up on a crapass Collector's Charvel rather than your own personal guitar, but that's a damn fine Kelly [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: IT HAS ARRIVED!!!!

Thats a very very nice guitar. Looks good and chunky without the beveled edges.

Does it have black binding on the front AND back?

Looks like it was well worth the wait. Congrats, enjoy that guitar, bro.

Re: IT HAS ARRIVED!!!!

That is beyond sweet. The inlays came out killer. Congrats!

How the tone and weight on that mahogany monster? I ask because I came very close to ordering a mahogany string-through Kelly myself, recently. Still might do it later.

BTW, since it has two pickups, wouldn't that make it a KE2T? [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

That is truly beautiful. Reminds me of some ancient mythological weapon...

Re: IT HAS ARRIVED!!!!

Hey thanks for the compliments guys!

To answer some of your questions; no binding on the back, however that is a good idea and if I would have thought about it, I probably would have done it. As for the weight, yeah, it is a bit heavy but compared to an USA KE2 that I just sold, it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I was under the impression that since this guitar doesn't have the bevels it's a KE1. I very well may be mistaken. Here is your pic Mr. Durden:

Re: IT HAS ARRIVED!!!!

I really think you designed a terrific guitar Zam. One of a kind! I love it and that's saying something considering that i usually don't like 3X3 headstocks. Definitely has a retro/natural/classic vibe to it yet it subtly tells the viewer that it can emit crushing sounds.
