JJ,

Very very cool! I think the shape is a tasteful improvement over that of a strat. The bloodwood body lamination and how it works with the body shape and detail is very tasteful and original. From my perspective the outcome of the coin toss was a good one as the Walnut looks super on top. That guitar just screams – plug me in – play me hard – play me loud! JJ, I would take Mark Swanson up on his pre-amp idea. My suspicion is that with the flick of a toggle switch it’ll put that axe into serious overdrive. (I'm having a flashback and so missing my Marshall right now).

Sam routing the pick-up pups on the other side would have turned it into a leftie guitar :=)

Waddy don’t believe a word of what JJ said about it being exclusively for his son Frank. Here’s my thinking:
 The dude just picked up a Fender Twin for himself.
 I saw JJ but two weeks ago and noted that his hair is getting long
 JJ’s vernacular is changing to one that middle aged me does not comprehend;
 Who has been lobbying for a dedicated electric section on the OLF?

So Bob Connor got it almost right with the first cut of JJ’s picture….I trust Hesh and Billy will carry it through :=)

All kidding aside – JJ excellent work my friend! Frank is gonna have the coolest shredder!
