That redwood is great-it's almost got a tie-dye vibe going on.

I can't wait to see these LP's finished.

Man, Pete's new block inlay options are rockin' my world! I think that the blocks and matching headstock really set this baby off!

That's just insane. It looks so good. I can't wait to see and hear it finished!

My jaw literally dropped when I saw that! I love the figure in the blocks, has that been done before?

A little part of me died when I saw those two basses.

Those basses look incredible. "Envy" is such an understatement right now!

Mine is the one without the 'stripe.'

Edit: Here is a shot from the side that gives a little better idea of the figuring (flaming and quilt, in addition to birdseyes and 'mineral tracing') on that fingerboard:
