These inlays are my all-time favorite, but the shape is way to square-ish for me.
And the pickguard is cheesy (and does not match the color  :ph34r:)
But i guess it sounds pretty good  :P.

Gorgeous!!

I have to agree though, I wish they'd done the pickguard differently. Maybe just etched without colour. The more you look at it the tackier it gets.

I love the Hummingbirds that have loads of guard-wear that's partially rubbed away the image.

The last 2 or 3 of these that I picked up & played sounded stunning.

Where you come from is gone. Where you thought you were going to weren't never there. And where you are ain't no good unless you can get away from it.
