The bridge is a work of art. Just amazing design and machining.

Love the detail in the new pics! What an amazing catch. That headstock checking just screams "play me!"
Did you adjust the polepiece heights on the pickups yourself, or were they setup like that when you got them?

Thanks, guys!
Those polepieces have not been touched my me! The guitar is, IMO, now perfect, and I'm not going to do anything else but play it and love it!
