Looks pretty sweet, though I think the Laurel could ruin it a bit? They used pretty dark slabs (maybe dyed?) for the Paranormal line, should've tried that for the CME exclusive.

Once you swap out that tort ( :-X ), they'll look almost as good as my blue sparkle Jag, but at 1/3 the cost :squint:

Wow, that really does look great when you put some kind of white plate on there to get rid of the tort clash. I prefer that yours has D&B rather than B&B as well, to be honest - lack of block on 21st always throws my eye with Jags, plus it's a little too Gibson-esque. What's the fretboard radius on yours, 9.5" or 7.25"?

I got really excited when I saw that the OP guitar was £413 before shipping - something I'd be able to afford by August, easily - but then I was like, meh 9.5" 😂

I wonder if Andertons will be getting them too... :ph34r:
If it does I'll see you there - Anderton's is one of the few big depot type guitar stores left that's drivable for me, now that Pro Music Tech Portsmouth has closed. Just that Guildford is often a pain to get to so I only go there with a purpose...

It's 9.5". I like 7.25" too, and have some guitars with that radius, but 9.5" is my go-to radius.
