Possibly the best "made in ___" label I've ever seen.

Thanks guys. I'm stoked with it. Neck position is pure blues and middle is pure "Stones". The bridge just hurts my ears! ( will talk to Ash about PUP next year)
It has some SD alnico 2 pro's at the moment.

Yes Bender, finish was done by me in Nitro. It is as thin as I can get so should get some character with in a few years.

Thanks Ash for the good deals and great advise. I was waiting for the "maybe I should just build it" reply after the 20th PM.

I have the serial number NZ00001 on back of head stock. All 'tongue in cheek'. I was thinking about a 'Esquire' but now think if I just have one guitar it will get more love.
