So, something was not clicking with me when I first saw this ... I loved it, but something seemed off. Well, I think all it was was the uneven border around the burst. I've made an example of what I think might be all that's necessary to make it work for me:
before:

after:

Subtle, but now the burst has the same shade of stain (almost natural) all the way around. The area in question is just on either side of the pickup cavities. If they subdue the purple slightly and even out the burst, I think I'm good to go :)

Thoughts?

Here is a new pic with adjusted burst line. It's a little washed out from the sun and will certainly darken, Maciek says, but I think it's amazing!

I think I want a little more color in the horns and the purpleish color subdued to make it more blue and I'm good to go! :)

my headstock design (based of a couple of their other ones (Swan and 019) in order to retain the Skervesen look). I think it looks awesome!
