Thank you kindly!

I'm having it shipped to the place that does all the work on my guitars here in town. I am heading out on Saturday on vacation and will be back the following Saturday. By the time I get back it should be re-assembled and ready to rock!

thank you everyone kindly for the nice words. The guitar has been shipped back. I am on vacation this week, so I had it shipped to the shop that does all of my tech work. He has received it and says the guitar looks great! Here are some pictures he texted me. He said the red is really tough to accurately capture on his iphone, but the color looks perfect! I get back in town late Sunday. His shop is closed on Monday, so when I get off work on Tuesday, I should be able to pick it back up re-assembled.

whats the norm here? do I post a NVGD in the other thread? do I post the pic's here?

The interesting thing is that I have yet to see a picture that accurately captures the color... to me, the color is more fluorescent than this picture shows...

Looks beautiful!

Thanks! Here is a teaser for you. This is the guitar, but to me, the color looks nothing like this in person. I'll post more tonight. ;D

I'll take some more pictures soon, but this is the guitar at the shop. The guitar is more vibrant in person, but you can kind of see how the color can change depending on lighting. To start it off, here is the way I received the guitar for context:

This is probably the closest picture to how she looks...
