I ordered mine here, but there are others online.

Thanks, their price is good. I sent them an email to see if they can do a custom logo on them.

Mostly done, but I ran out of steam and it's beer:thirty. Just need to hook up pickups to the switch, string with Fender 9-46 Bullets, then test and setup.

Good LORD this is so dope! It just looks like a fast car haha, the color and slant are perfect

I ordered mine Friday, got an emailed proof this morning, and it shipped today. That's pretty incredible service!

That's pretty cool. I haven't heard from them yet. Maybe they're not set up for custom graphics. I have plenty of time to get one done (read: months) so there's no rush.

It appears that they're primarily set up to do text only, but asking for something custom is worth a shot.

This is an awesome build! I love the green you used.

I'll give a +1 to Philadelphia Luthier Supply as well, I've always gotten incredibly quick service from them.

Exactly. The worst they can do is say "no".

The neck plate arrived today, and I just ordered it Friday- wow! Well packaged, and includes new screws and a small setup gauge.

Nice quality plate. Looks good.

What color/brand did you use to paint this? It's amazing!

I used Duplicolor Paint Shop BSP208 Sublime Green Pearl lacquer. Cool stuff; it comes in a quart can, premixed with thinner, ready to spray.

That looks really cool!

"It also screams for a custom etched neck plate to honour your craftmanship."

Another great idea Amon; I ordered one today.

Well done with the plate, now slap it in place and wear the guitar with much deserved pride.

Neck plate on. Done!
