    Beautiful! I'm envious of all of you that get the picture updates. I have a custom Dan Ransom, that should be in my hands in a few weeks, but I think my first peek, will be when I open the case.

    Awesome thread. Cheers to you on getting your custom guitar and for posting the process of the build. How long did the build take? Have you weighed this baby yet?

    The Concrete is just kinda for cool aesthetics, but its not actually on the concrete though, I place pieces of cork padding underneath it at all the points of contact, and am very careful to make sure no damage is incurred. It's just for a cool background.

    Wow!

    Everything about this guitar is amazing... I normally can't stand gold hardware but this one kills it.... Enjoy!
