Custom Bass Wait Support Group Needed [Part 3]

My ACG 9 string is getting towards the finish line. I'm really looking forward to the day I can drive the 60 miles or so from Glasgow to Moffat to pick it up! There's more info in the build thread, the link is in my signature. As always, all things ACG can be found at www.acguitars.co.uk

Mine is almost finished... Well, it wás finished. The company I'm buying it from (I'm endorsing them) had it finished already, but I thought some stuff had to change. They're installing an Aguilar OBP-3 and it gets a new oil coat. Oh, and I'm going to have wood knobs made.
It looked like this:

It's supposed to be finished next week. I can't wait! :hyper:

That looks great! Who is the maker?
 
Argh! My new Cobelens & de Bruyne (see above) takes about 2 more weeks! There were some finish mistakes. They thought they could either sand the bad parts off and re-do it or polish the bad parts. Both methods failed, and they're going to refinish the whole body. It's going to look better, but it takes so friggin' long!
 
specs: 17" single cut, hollow wings, 3 inches deep, 7 strings, salvaged old growth redwood top... three piece back, cocobolo and bass wood back. ziricote fretboard and birdseye neck...
