    I do have a contact that can get me a quilted maple drop top and I’m tempted to try and get a custom shop hollowbody body and neck only and glue the drop top on, then try to do a dragon breath stain (I am just a big PRS nerd) and see if I can get that quilted 3D look...that is a project for later, though.

    For now, spray paint ahoy!
