Lovely Epic, but I am biased, as I have one too, and it looks almost like yours! Yes I must post a photo too, mine is a 1997 4 string, great value, have fun!

Thanks Mica. I’m looking to order a custom build, one of these days. What are the lead times currently?

It depends, Roy. Something simple might have a five-six month lead time. If you have heavily customized electronics or inlays it will be much longer.
