That fretboard is "I'd buy her dinner first" level of tïts. Can't wait to see this finished (I also have a major case of "finally something that's not a superstrat" right now :lol: )

I know! He's got an AWESOME source for the PME, apparently. I have an OAF coming eventually, and that will have a PME board too.

And I honestly have to slow down with these purchases. But I mean, it's my only spendy vice, and I'm not doing the $6500 mayones thing, so why not?!

Update! After months and months of waiting and at least one redo, pickups from The Guitarmory are finally done. And as an aside, I would steer any of you WELL clear of ordering pups from The Guitarmory. I paid for these things in the spring, and received next to no communication, no email responses, no Facebook responses, multiple missed shipping dates, etc. Julius didn't fare much better. The first set was done and the grain didn't line up because he made the bobbins first, and then slanted them, throwing off the grain pattern. So Julius had him redo them, and this is the result: they're STILL off. And there's a gap between the two bobbins, and from the appearance of it the cut lines aren't straight. At this point I said .... it, we need to move on. Of course, no answer from him regarding what the heck happened.
Anyway, they're at least here, so Julius can get the build finished. (He's been awesome, by the way. Excellent communication, photos whenever I want, and isn't trying to slide anything past me.)

I know they aren't exactly how you wanted them, but they really do look good despite it.

Yeah, totally. I mean, to a certain extent you can slap PME on a pup in any old way and it's going to look hot! The wax from potting them tinted them a little more yellow, so Julius is going to do a similar thing to the FB so it looks continuous. I can't wait, though. It'll be my first guitar with PME. Tom Drinkwater (Oakland Axe Factory) is making me another 8 string, and we have a PME board for that one as well.

Update! It's getting close! The rough shaping is done, and it's on to finalizing the contours and sanding. Check it, my brethren:

Haha, I know, I wanted one sooooo bad, and now I have this, and another build planned with Tom Drinkwater that will have them. I'm still wanting a sapwood Mexican cocobolo FB, and will get one eventually. I had one being built by Shad Peters when his shop burned down, so it'll be a while before he rebuilds it. And then I think I'll have all the fancy wood guitars I ever wanted. Hopefully no one invents a new type of tree. :lol:
