    Ooh. I was tossing up doing one of those next. Either that, or a PBG-1. Or an EX-1. Or an RC-1. Or an ESP-1

    Dammit.

    But yours is nice!

    Yep! Just arrived!

    Thinking Mahogany for the back and sides, but there isn't any binding to separate the top which I was contemplating Goldenrod or Carmine Gypsy....might just have to do the whole thing in Cherry Flamenco?

    nice, thats bizaar, I did mine back sides in mahogany, and did a carmine/golden rod burst on top !

    cherry all over would look great. You will see the headstock is quite a bit longer and narrower than the standard PRS headstock, but its got heaps of height to play with designs

    I haven't pulled the neck out yet to have a look at the headstock....I'm a little nervous about what I might discover.....after having given special instructions on my order form!

    I'd think something natural to highlight and accentuate the wood - that spalty top is to die for...
