Magnificent.

A real homage to the classics, yet perfectly contemporary.

The choice of someone who really, really wants a new guitar... :D

She is a Beauty Jeff! Congrats on your new lady!

Does she sound and feel as good as she looks?


Thanks to all of you. The guitar arrived this morning and it blew me away. Absolutely stunning craftsmanship. The AA flame literally jumps off of the guitar. When I plugged this guitar in and added some gain/overdrive, it set the room on fire, it smoked like a good Stratocaster. Depending on the lighting, the beautifully grained ash body in bing cherry shines and the flame pattern in the neck really comes out. Here are a few closeups of the body that i took on my iMac camera.

Jeff you went from a rent a wreck to a Ferrari. That is just a thing of beauty. $@!& that neck and the grain on that body are off the chart. I swear I am like hypnotized staring at it. All the best with it.
