    Hi Steve, in the business world they call it continuing improvement or pursuit of excellence, and yes, each subsequent build generally becomes easier than the first through the new lessons learned along they way. Seriously addictive hobby this guitar building.

    Very very nice zeromick! That's some great attention to detail that went into the finishing. Is that a faux finish or some sort of oxidizing paint?
    Completed Projects:
    non PBG LP Custom - Hetfield 'Uncle Milty' Iron Cross replica
    non PBG Brownstein Stratocaster

    Current WIP:
    non PBG Stratocaster - Canadian Red Ensign
    PBG FV-1G Custom
