That's a pretty impressive top Michael. looks kind of similar to mine although mine doesn't have a back laminate.

Wow awesome Jacko. You are very right, the tops are very similar.  I just went for the darkest top I could find, and of course some interesting pattern.  How are you enjoying yours?

She's an incredible bass - feels like butter and gets a huge range of tones. The 'Q' switch adds a nice kick when I need to get aggressive as do the bass and treble switches. You'll love yours when she's finished.
I also have an epic and a balance k but the rogue was the only custom build so she's very special.

Starting the setup process:

That headstock is awesome.  I don't know how I'm going to play the bass while I'm just staring at the thing.

More pics of the bass next week (sorry to make you wait), but here's one of the hand engraving:

It's really beautiful!
