That top is perfect... no actually the whole thing is perfect. I'd love one just like it but fretted and with a MM pickup. Eventually...

If I had to bet, I'd say this one will be sold before completion.

I like the way you think. This one will be headed my way sometime in the near future.

Slightly different perspective (ash instead of mahogany), yes, yes it will.
