I'd pay $3k for that, easy!
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Blimmin nice work sir. I really like that headstock and the tuners.
How do you find tuning it from behind? And what tuners are they?

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Re: happy birthday suite 16
thanks for the comments team
The tuners are Steinberger. I had to raid a set of an earlier build for this cos I cant get them any more. I like them a lot. very fast string changes and very even tuning.
The 6 way switching has worked well. Its a Freeway switch and gives me the 3 standard humbucker toggle positions plus , neck outer coil with bridge humbucker, both outer coils, and bridge outer coil with neck humbucker. very versatile.
