More crappy late night photos. Should be able to make a few outdoors photos tomorrow. Pg arrives tomorrow too, so perhaps a quick mock up is in order. Color looks inaccurate in these shots.

So after lots of this:

Very nice!
I finally finish building a guitar, go to play it, and then remember, "oh yeah, that's right. I suck at playing... Why did I build another guitar again?"

Thank you AW, now I have a lot of work to do to bring things back to "plays like butter" state. This shall be the wining combo. Mark worked this magic again, I don't have enough good words to say for his punctuality, communication and the quality of work.

Next photos - finished guitar. I might have broken my personal best for finishing a guitar; this took less than three weeks. I'm happy.

Thank you Oig. There's room for improvement; I think I'll get back at it with another hand of polishing in couple of months, but for now this will do. I am putting the thing together tonight and hopefully tomorrow the setup will be done so that I can actually play it.

Does anyone know did these come with 10s or 9s from the factory?

Really? I broke the high E and all I have is two packs of 9s from who knows when. Other strings are brand new. Oh well.

hahaha, no worries, I wasn't clear. But yeah, back in the day everyone had a tone to die for and everyone played 12s... ;D

Done! Missing one string, but I'll fix this today. Time to play some guitar.

Ok people, last photos and I'm out. Done. Plays like it's supposed to, Antiquity II pickups sound like sweet bells. Now time for me to take a break from nitro fumes and make some music. And cut that grass. Thanks for the support!
