Dears - it is so much fun for us to produce these for you. The excitement is on both sides of internet, believe me!

God bless internet .

It`s time for new pic`s

The top need a nice stain

Hope you enjoy

I think that middle stain would look really good with your guitar. It seems to be the most natural of the 3 stains there.

 

[Birdman]

I'll get a daylight picture tomorrow so I can decide what color I prefer.

Looking great, Birdman!

I too am leaning towards the middle at this point. I'll reassess when the next pic comes

 

[SiggyCertified]

Middle looks great, to me it brings out the most contrast.

 

[Birdman]

That grain looks top shelf! I approve

 

[SiggyCertified]

Top shelf indeed, and sexy.

 

[BlackMastodon]

Great minds think alike. Looks awesome man!

In one week there has been this much progress? I think I may have to order myself a Skervesen!

Check out the other build threads. These guys actually built my guitar faster than it takes for BKP to build and ship a pickup
