Heheh, welcome to the Silverburst club, I was unfortunately
restrained from going full custom on mine by the size of my
wallet
Nice specs, can't wait to see how your pickguard turns out!

Yes, I'm already getting ideas for my next Custom Shop (even
though my first isnt even here yet!), I'm split between another
solidbody and a hollowbody... My current starting points are
another singlecut guitar (PRS or Gibson style) with a totally
different sound, but probably with more exotic woods, or a
hollowbody archtop with the best piezo system money can buy
Either of those, probably with some sort of flame/quilttop this
time, exotic woods everywhere and all sort of crazy
customisation... I've got to save up for it though, so it may be a
while. Hopefully the price won't have skyrocketed or the wait for
a guitar gone beyond a year!

yeah i have some guitars on my wishlist still some of which i thought would be impossible to own but now come in reach one of them is defenitly going to be a prs hollowbody II type guitar with some nice extra's and i am also thinking bout having a tele '52 RI done in the future just see how this one turns out first but from what i see so far i know it will be good. Nice gear you have daniel i noticed you have a red ec-1000 also lol just like me what are the ods to that ! I play all trough a mesa though not a diezel so there is still some difference

I plan on getting a semi-hollow body double cutaway guitar after this summer. I'm planning on using woods such as black limba, wenge, ziricote and african blackwood. I've been reading alot about deep-set neck tenons and direct coupling of the bridge and I think I will try and incorporate those ideas into my next instrument. I'm also designing another custom inlay.

Our weighing machine isnt very precise but as far as i can see, i would say its about 4,8 - 5 KG (Kilogramms).

thanks ! thats some weet news! And yes i am happy so happy ill probably order another as soon as i have laid my hands on her. Specialy since the current US $ to Euro ratio is very much in the Euro favor. I think its like 1.34 $ to 1 euro at the moment so well see what happens if it gets trough customs without extra costs i think i can.

Status report: Dudnik is still out of the country (he went to visit his family for holidays, and paperwork difficulties are preventing him from re-entering Russia!)
Currently, Stepanov estimates that he won't be back any sooner than the 20th, so unfortunately your guitar is "In Limbo" till then
