is there some sort of perspective photo magic going on in the last 2 pictures? the neck looks like its rotated towards the bass side on the same axis as the truss rod...
Also the B string looks like its just barely on the fretboard.
Beautiful guitar for sure, and happy NGD.

Wow... That fretboard is ridiculous! Congrats on the deal!

The guitar reminds me of a Schecter Avenger in a good way) but super fancy.

Nice! Happy NGD :)
I follow him on social media and he does some real neat stuff. I thought this was a recent build though, did it get flipped that quickly? Cool find nonetheless! Enjoy!

... over there...
Red Layer Guitars are probably one of the best looking custom guitars out there. Congrats, super nice build...

@ChrispyFinch I doubt there's misalignment there, judging by this shop's previous works. It's surely a perspective / photo thing, visuals (as perspective / point of view) can be deceptive...

What an insanely beautiful guitar...
If you bought such an amazing guitar, would it ever get in the way of your life?

I would look at it, hold it, play it, and not feel like leaving my bedroom for a week.
My guitars reside in my living room, therefore I do not feel like it gets in the way of my life ;)

That thing is a work of art.

It would bother me that the 7th string is so close to the edge of the fretboard though
