This is going to look fucking awesome. In case anyone didn't know, Will is taking custom orders again and has some new axes up in the Gallery section of his website.

Fuck yeah it will, can't wait to get it, shouldn't be for long now

Oh and btw Jeff, your Stinnett inspired me to go with the birdseye maple fretboard.

welcome to the dark side. I've not had a non-maple fretboard instrument since!

Congrats, that will be a nice one!

Wouldn't that be the bright side then?

Nice!

I remember him offering to trade me one of these a few years ago for (I think?) A Mesa Mark IV, when he was just a guy posting the builds on Ultimate-Guitar for fun. His prices were like half what they are now, and I was going to jump on it, but he was valuing the guitar in a trade at much higher than he was selling them for, so I decided against it. His prices are ridiculously good still, though, I might have to get one still!

damn, I've never heard of these guitars before. This one is close to my ideal guitar:

And the price is legit! I'm thinking I need to sell some shit and order one of these... lol

 

[MatrixClaw]

Ugh... Think I might go ahead and order one. Lead time is 10 months, so I assume I won't have to pay in full right now (though I could afford it, just don't want to spend that kind of cash right now LOL).

^^Do it!

 

[MatrixClaw]

^^Do it!

Still debating it... The guitar I'd want isn't as cheap as I thought it'd be
