Just a look at my soon to be finished custom steel
Soon to be finished. Here is a pix of the body before Mike Weenick puts the mechanics on my steel.

Pictures soon to follow of the complete steel.
The changer is also a new design Mike and I came up with.
What is so neat about the Tiger striping is it looks like a hollogram facing.
As you move from side to side the pattern changes from stripes to solid bars.
Note: See below for latest pics.

I am going with the raised Shobud black fretboard and black pad. It accents the blue beautifully.
The dust catcher like what I have on my Shobud Super Pro.
I have no problem with dust as I use a 3M dust remover spray when needed.
It took us over 2 hours of spraying coats to arrive at the color we were both satisfied with.
Then Mike put 8 coats of lacquer on it last week.
I or Mike will have updated pictures very soon.

Don, I envy you getting a guitar built by none other than Martin Weenick. His workmanship is high quality through and through. Heck of a nice guy too!

Mike
Is doing a fabulous job and taking his time to be sure I get nothing but the best.
I was amazed yesterday when he showed me that in the linkage for my knee levers he had ball bearings to ease the motion of the knee levers.
It is beautiful the way it is and yet the body still needs to be wet sanded and buffed and polished.
