Well, I called 866-VUITTON and found out you have to go to a Louis Vuitton store to place a special order. The case for Keith Richards was a special order, but I wonder if he had to go into a store?
 
I'm not going to be near an LV store anytime soon, so if you venture into one, you can ask about the special order process.

Yep, I can just see Keef walking into the Louis Vuitton store on Rodeo Drive!

[mica]

Oh, they did tell me a special order could take 8 months or more.

OK, how about your stock case with fake crocodile tolex and a royal purple mouse hide inside?

[jazzyvee]

But clearly you'd want the Royal Purple mouse hide to be sourced from mice caught by the Queen's cat at Buckingham Palace right!

Or maybe the guiness factory!

Hi Mica, I spoke to Susan on Saturday about switching to series II electronics. Please let me know if this can be done. If so, i would like the master volume control location to be similar to a strat. I like to adjust volume with my little finger. Also, I want to order custom knobs and until I know about I/II status, I don't know what to order. I emailed a custom logo to Susan. if the Skyway trem could have a 5 arm, and a larger diameter I would be pleased.  
Thanks for your attention!
John

I'll be looking at the control layout for you along with the side jacks. The drilling for the controls is on hold, and I've got a message over to Rick at Skyway regarding the tremolo.

[mica]

OK, to start the control layout, is this about where you want the master volume to land?
 

[jzstephan]

Hard to tell without the bridge..   Maybe to the left 1 or 2 mm and down 1 or 2 mm.  Can you photoshop a bridge on it?
 
Thanks! Truly Tremendous TriO

[jzstephan]

No, wait.. I think you nailed it (bad figure of speech)

[mica]

Here's the control layout:

  The knobs are just placed by eye in the picture for a rough idea. When we drill, we'll actually measure and keep things parallel sorta like this:

 See how bad my eyes are?

Awesome Buckeye Burl top!  What will the back have?  Inquiring minds want to know.

Check the build record - I think you will like what you see!
