Congratulations Jonas, on the re-birth of your new Shamray Custom Shop instrument (serial number CS 0063)! We will post pictures of it's construction-in-progress from time to time here in this thread. For the curious, here are the specs on CS 0063: * Set neck (long neck tenon) "ESP EXP" Explorer body shape. Mahogany body with instrument grade flame maple top AND back (billets LS-267 and 270). Use the best looking piece as the top! No body binding! * 3-piece mahogny neck. * Angled “ESP-EXPLORER” headstock with flame maple facing (wood from LS-267/270) and flame maple back of headstock facing (also from LS-267/270) * Control cavity cover crafted from flame maple. (LS-267/270, matched with the back body facing) * 24 and 3/4 inch scale length. 22 Sintoms “6100” frets. 1 11/16 inch nut width. * Neck profile: "U"-shaped, 20mm @1st fret, 22 mm @12th fret * 12 inch fingerboard radius. Graph-tech nut. Dual-Action truss rod. Ebony truss rod cover * Ebony fingerboard to be as dark black as possible and fairly tight grained. NO fretboard binding! * solid ebony truss rod cover with "JHD"-logo inlaid in M-O-P * solid ebony pickup rings * Mother of pearl side dots. * PRS "Purple mist" finish (see pictures) on all flame maple parts. The rest of the guitar should be finished opaque black. Thin black bursting (like on CS-0057) on edges of body front and back, and edges of headstock front and back(cavity cover is purple mist - to blend into body) * Mother of pearl Shamray Custom Shop logo on the back of the headstock. * Seymour Duncan SH-1 '59 (neck) and Seymour Duncan SH-5 Custom (bridge) pickups, Ebony pickup-covers, 100% cavity shielding. * Sperzel 3+3 (black) machines, Gotoh T-O-M set ( black), black Schaller straplocks. * All black hardware (including pickup bezels, toggle switch, screws, etc...). * 3 black metallic "dome" knobs, individual volume controls for each pickup, tone control for the neck pickup. * Switchcraft (USA) Toggle switch in the ESP Explorer position, NOT on the lower horn as on a Gibson Explorer. * Ernie Ball .010-.052 strings, tuned to D, fairly low action. * Output jack mounted on the side of the guitar. * Custom-made lightweight flight case. (Black interior and exterior) * Fingerboard inlay: modified custom version of "man-to-wolf" transformation across the length of the fretboard |

Yea, that's where I first noticed it. It's pretty much the same colour I first wanted for 0057 though. I really want the darker stripes to be blackish though, so it might have to end up a little darker in the end. |

Hi Sushkov! If you think a quartersawn 2-piece neck is the way to go that's cool with me, as long as it will be stable and you like the wood I'm happy!

In short, a quartersawn board has been cut so that the grain runs perpendicular to the widest face of the board. This results in a stronger, less flexible neck. | |

Haha, I'm not even sure which one is which... (English isn't my first language ) I wanted to REMIND him (must be reminder then?) about it, so that he doesn't forget.

I absolutely love the wolf, brilliant! The man's really good too, but could you perhaps make him bald? You see, I shave my head, and that way I can pretend it's me! Probably sounds really silly, but I think it would be cooler It just looks brilliant though Shushkov, keep it up! |

Hi Sushkov, I just got this pic from Michael. While it looks nice on it's own, I don't think the new inlay really works that well with the first one. It looks like the wolf is about 50% bigger then on the first inlay and the proportions don't seem to match up. (Mostly the nose/head seems a little big compared to the first one). I would really appreciate it if you could make another one with the size and proportions of the wolf as close to the first inlay as possible, basicly try to make it look as much as the wolf in the first inlay as possible, and also try to make the rest of the "wolf" inlays as close as possible to that. Perhaps you could show me your drawings before you make them into inlays from now on, so you don't have to do any extra work? I hope you don't think I'm being rude or anything, but it's really important that this looks just right to me, I hope you understand!

Yea, I think it needs to be smaller, and just look more like the first wolf. The same thing with that 3rd inlay. I REALLY(!) like that first wolf, it just looks like a real wolf to me, the size of the head compared to the body, the detailing of the silloute, etc. If you could make the rest of the wolf inlays look EXACTLY like that first wolf but in different poses that would be GREAT!
