BKPs take too long so we decided for the Dimarzios for now. This is getting sent out on Tuesday

God...I love that fade. I basically just told him to make my other 6 similar to that....but super purple in the center.

Got some photo updates from Bernie!

This is the one that is mine:

And It's looking great! hopefully it wont be too long till its done now!

 

[Speculum Speculorum]

Heck yeah guys. It's good to see him back in the saddle and working again. I got word that he's going to try and ship mine next week. I'm getting more and more stoked. Freaking out stoked, actually.

I really like that top! Almost looks like the pattern of a plaid shirt!

Larkin,

What, exactly, is that color there?

haha, true!

I just wanted to pop in to mention that mine came in today, and there are no issues with it. The specs are right, the frets are good, and as far as I can tell, everything is perfect. It was even almost in tune. I am pleased.

All of these guitars need a mandatory NGD so we can live vicariously until ours arrive.

 

[Larrikin666]

Larkin,

Blue denim stain. The blue was a bit brighter before buffing. I actually like it even more now. You really have the look for the blue, but it's definitely there.

 

[Speculum Speculorum]

Oh yeah! There it is! I am betting it's a little more blue in person too. For some reason on my monitor it has a slightly mossy appearance. Either way, I bet it's going to be freaking ridiculous.

Bernie is sending me my invoice tonight and says it will ship Tuesday

It does renew faith to hear that things are going on and he is getting guitars out. He may be dealing with these on a batch basis and may not want to be burdened with the next "batch" till the current one ships. Thank you for the information it has definitely brought me some level of comfort.

Dude I totally regret selling that 6'er spot now! It looks crazy!!! It's cool to see it come this area regardless. Are you keeping the original pickups I requested? BKP c-bomb & DiMarzio Injector?

I don't think so. I think Janne sent him a custom Seymour Duncan rail single spaced humbucker. I'm gonna have that sent back to Janne. I haven't picked anything yet. I really like the Crunch Lab in Bernie's guitars, so I'll probably have him put another in that guitar. Not sure about the neck.

Updated pics for my Hesperian with maple board that Bernie just sprayed today.

 

[Adrian-XI]

^wow, that looks great!

 

[glassmoon0fo]

Hot damn it's good to see bernie getting caught up! Can't wait till the NGDs start popping up

I had a long phone conversation with Mr. Rico today.

WHAT A JERK!

No I'm kidding - he made me say that. Really nice guy with a good sense of humor.

I have no idea when the guitar will be done, but I know that it is ready for the final clear coat. He has a lot of guitars in progress, and I have no idea how he keeps track. Luckily, we spoke in time to have him not apply the inlays.

He took some some pictures for me as well.

dude. so jealous of that color! What is it? I would've definitely chose that color over mine. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely happy with the color I chose, but shit... I might need another now

 

[WillDfx]

^ I second that. What the Hell is that stain called?
