Awesome top, but I'm not digging the rimburst.

But, to each his own.

Congrats nonetheless!:D

That is a gorgeous finish for sure! Now, you're going to have to follow up with an "after" picture when she's fully rigged!

IIRC, during the procces of a custom order, pics of the progress (stages in production) are sent to the customer.

That's pretty cool...I own a couple of custom shop acoustics that were bought "off-the-rack" and never knew about pics being supplied as the worked progressed...sounds like an awesome service...

That is awesome ACE! And again, Congrats!

BTW, forget what I said earlier about the "rimburst" thing, because on that top with that color, it works! B)

And a HUGE 1UP for Gibson for doing the right thing!
