Customer Review:

“Hi Jeff,

I did spend some quality time with the guitar. The finish is flawless. Excellent work. :) Getting a good, even matte finish is a challenge and the finish on this guitar looks fantastic. It looked like it took some real skill to route and put in the Hannes bridge. The guitar plays well and intonates correctly. I'm very happy with it. The single coils seem a tad too far from the strings so I'll probably raise them up just a bit using some foam. That Warpig sounds quite good... the fiberglass (fretboard) is awesome and I'm impressed with how it was done with the fret ends hidden on the side of the neck. Looks slick. The guitar body to neck joint is really comfortable for playing the higher frets and is smooth and perfectly done. The custom case is very nice.

All in all, you did a fantastic job. Thank you for all your hard work. It's a beautiful guitar.”
