It's a blackened beauty:

The back of the neck is taped off for the clear/satin part.

Looks great, thanx!
 
Please change the clear/satin part to clear/high gloss part ;-)
I'm used to the high gloss neck finish (I have one with the satin neck and three with a high gloss neck) and it will make the flame maple lams look even better :-)

How about the 12th fret inlay and some info on the roadcase? ;-)
 
All new guitars in my Metallica tribute band :-)
Our Jaymz bought a LTD MX-130, Hetfield style Explorer (pre law suit, real explorer shape) with diamond plate top and our KRK bought a LTD Ouija Kirk Hammett signature.
Soon I'll join forces with my tribute to the Jason Elan :-)

Flip, sounds like you guys are pretty legit about all of this, how about as far as amps and effects being the same?

For my gear look at www.fcbass.com
Kind of Cliff/Jason gearmix :-)
 
Our Jaymz: Mesa Mark III - Mesa Rectumfrier 4x12 - TC Electronic G-major
 
Our KRK: Mesa Mark IV - Marshall 1960 4x12 - Tube screamer - Crybaby from hell and I think a Boss multiffect processor (either Boss or Roland)
Additional Metallica approved guitarz: USA Jackson Randy Rhoads and a Gibson V (white)
 
When the Elan arrives, we're gonna go to a pro photostudio and take some neat gearpics :-)
 
I have the Brasso and Alembic Supreme polish standby:

I hope so, we have figured out the 12th fret design :-)
