Congratulations, Lars Erik! This will be fantastic, no doubt!

(You had to find a way to get a shamray before me, didn't you!) ;-)

Thanks, Kota!

I wanted to combine picking up the guitar with summer holidays (instead of picking it up in cold Moscow during the winter some time), and this way I get a short delivery estimate! :D Anyway, black cherry was one of my favorites before I started to think about the silverburst. And yeah, I decided that trem was the way to go, therefore I could base it on the orphan! :)

I'll post the picks I have received from Michael this evening.

Ok, this project got a flying start. As you know, the body is the "orphan" after the DAP Custom (cs 1970), so what is left is just making/attaching neck, finishing and setting up the guitar.

Thanks to Michael and Sushkov for getting this off so quickly.

The pics I've gotten so far:

Thanks, you're own project is awesome too. I'm going to get a LP from here sometime too, but I decided PRS'ish was the best way to go for my first quality guitar, as it's more versatile.

Maple neck sounds nice, headstock? Hm... well, the body shape has some resemblances to the strat body, so...

:)

I kind of like the PRS headstock on prs-ish guitars. The Fender headstock on one? ...Hmmm, I don't know. But, that's the great thing about Shamray. You want it, you GET it!

Just got home after a couple of beers as well, so I'm a bit out there. Didn't expect any pictures here this time! :D

Lars, what do you think about this pretty bird on your headstock? I make it for Kota Kojima, but he prefer modern style eagle.

This looks better and better. You have put on some finish on the back too, I see? How do you like it? I was a bit uncertain of the back finish at first, but this looks terrific, I think. I like the contrasts :) Thanks for the good work :D

Back is natural color of mahogany after laquer. I think all back needs to be toned a little in red. What do you mean?

Sushkov: Very nice inlay and headstock! That faux binding looks promising too.

Regarding the color, I think we agreed on dark natural on the back, which I was told also has a tint of red in it?

Best, Lars Erik
