Very nice work Rob! will you do my next setup.
If you are ever in SoCal, its no problem at all.....

Good job Robby...the gold hardware goes great with a black guitar. Keep on making more black guitars until the sun don't shine anymore.

Missing the gold frets too
Wow, that's beautifully designed! Wonder how long it takes to wear the plating off those frets???? Or, are they...solid gold???

I love cool inlay work!!
I always loved anything intricate or unusual. These DT555 inlay were the coolest things I had ever seen, back in 1983...

I always thought the Gibson Vine inlays were the coolest thing because they are so intricate
But if I'm being completely honest it's not a look for me - I would never buy one, I just appreciate the craftsmanship
Now that's one incredible looking guitar especially the fret board inlays! Hey I just noticed on the head stock the lady on it is showing her boobies!!! Is this your idea of guitar porn?

It's not a real Gibson (I know, out of character/not typical for me) but they don't do the inlays on solidbodies as far as I know, so I cheated. Here's what they look like on the real deal:

Wow! That looks like the ultimate acoustic guitar...I'd love to own one of those some day. The bridge looks pretty snazzy also.

Good tip! Thanks!
Since he is new to Floyd's, I thought the USA made variant of the Tremolo Stop (with adjustable thumbwheel) would make it easy for him.
