I want to hear more about that gold leaf. Is it a custom paint job? Looks very cool!

Thanks. Yes, it's a custom finish, as far as I've ever seen. Not too common. When I have seen it, like with the Fender Custom Shop, it always has a square patch quilt look. I think that's because gold leaf only comes in small rectangular sheets. I had this body made and finished by Mattia Franchin in Italy. I specified an even, un-patchy finish, and they delivered it in spades. I'm very happy with their work on this.
