I've just finished up this guitar, which happens to be the first time I've built a guitar with a Satin Black 2k finish. The customer wanted the grain to be 3D, he also wanted the "autograph inlay" to not stand out too much, so we did a relic type thing there.
There are a couple of very slight body redesigns for 2016, not enough that people would notice but it solves a couple things I wasn't happy with.
I'm keen to hear any feedback as I'm always trying to evolve everything I do, anyway, I'll let the pics do the talking but lets start with the specs:
Oak Body - Satin Black 2k finish
Maple neck
Cocobolo Fingerboard
Indian Ebony Fingerboard binding and maple purfing
Autograph Inlay of customers design - relic appearance
Bareknuckle Painkiller pickups
Hipshot hardtail bridge
Gotoh tuners
Schaller Straplock system
26.125" scale
16" radius
Mini kill switch for each pickup
Mini coil split switch for neck pickup
0.022uf capacitor
Switchcraft output jack

It's the second guitar he's ordered, the first guitar set a standard enough for him to order another, so i wanted to make sure to smash it out of the park making it way better than the first.
Mission accomplished!

I actually quite like the 'unfilled' grain look you've got here Alan, makes a nice change from a high gloss finish. Oak body! How is the finished weight compared to your usual builds?

Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

Oak is very heavy, but this body shape is extensively carved, so the overall weight feels very standard.
