Gonna drop that tele in when you go to Donnington? You'll get a nut like that one, gratis.


If I can I will Niki mate, for sure! Thanks again so much mate.

Whether you like it or not you are in wi those two btw.

It's like the Ghostbusters:

Ceri is Dr Raymond Stanz, the heart of the bunch with a passion and enthusiasm for all he does.
Martian is Dr Egon Spengler, the ultimate knowledge in PKE meters, Ecto Plasm and Pick-Ups.
You Niki are Dr Peter Venkman, the mouth, the one who says what most of us are thinking!
The rest of us are Winston Zeddemore, not a doctor but the hired everyman and the serious guy who are usually wonderin what the hell is goin on!

Hey Winston had more sense than the rest of em put together. He knew when to run. :D

I always see myself as being more the Rick Moranis character. Just going along happily. Smiling without much of a clue as to whats occuring. Then utter turmoil of which I'm the center.

Finale. Time to stop touching up Nikininja’s body.

It has been a SO MUCH longer ride than I expected! 90 pages and 794 photos, including those below. Would you permit me to indulge myself with a little stroll through some edited highlights…?

SERIOUS WARNING: this post contains A LOT of pictures!

By kind permission, we start with a photo of Nick's showing the moment it all began:

Job done.

Here's what it looks like all slapped together:

And just for the heck of it, let's indulge ourselves further with a few tourist shots of my town.

Somebody just looked out and said: "Electric guitar? We don't want your sort round here, mate. Push off!"
Image

Across the road is the Royal Albert Hall. You've seen the inside on countless music vids, from Cream's Farewell Concert to Joe Bonamassa Live At... Here it is on a nice sunny evening:
Image

Image

Image

Hangin' around outside the stagedoor. Is Mr Clapton ever going to show up...?
Image

I'm thinking: "Thank ____ this damn guitar is done!":
Image

And that's all, folks! Someone else's turn...

CHEERS! - C

HOLY CRAP Mr Ceri. Talk about gear acquire syndrome, I just got Build Required Syndrome or BRS. Fantastic dude, and that post that shows it all from start to finish! Amazing.

Quickly post a shot of the Headstock decal :), but my guess is it has something to do with your last name....

Is it too early to ask for a sound bite?

I would love to hear her!

I'm completely speechless, amazed, etc. and very proud of knowing you and watching you do something very few on this planet can do Ceri!!
Absolutely wonderful, beautiful guitar man!!!! 8) :)


Be careful and don't let any of those Rock Stars walking the streets of London glimpse that guitar!!! They will offer you the world!

On second thought walk by Gilmour's houseboat several times with it!! 8) :wink:

Outstanding job Ceri! What an amazing, gorgeous guitar!

I have followed this project since day 1 and it is amazing to see something of such poor condition be turned into a masterpiece. I will miss this build and checking the forums everyday for an update.

Ceri I really hope the remenants of that body give you the same pleasure they gave me. Infact you deserve much more. This really is a very emotional experience for me. I for once am lost for words.

If you see that man, buy him a pint

Ceri... I'm speechless. Thank you for such a wonderful journey. This has been the best thread I've ever had the privilege to follow.

Love to hear a sound bite if you get the chance... :lol: You know we won't let you go until you do... :)
