    So first attempt at relicing anything. Reusing the old bridge, strap hardware and pickguard now so as it matches my attempts at age.

    Still needs a final wet and dry through the grades to get rid of the orange peel in the clear, but wanted to see how it was going to look. Still need to age the visible mahogany. Then it will be time for the hairdryer and compressed air to crack the nitro finish.

    Isn't a copy of, but inspiration was taken from Gibson Collectors choice #8
