well here he is- the first mark king deluxe bal k heart omega 5 string aka direwolf- the coco is so dark and rich that photos are really hard to capture the beauty of this beast.In person its a deep dark chocolately red. The detail to craftmanship totally blew me away,as did the huge sound the ash-walnut-maple-coco sandwich produces.
i hope you enjoy these photos

thats a custom made tailpiece- neck dimensions are 1.75 nut w/.500 spacing and .180 edges, medium scale.
it doesnt play like a medium scale, the b string is very tight and my fingers are flying across the neck-a total grand slam- it could not have come out better to suit my style of playing- which is kind of remarkable as this was my first custom. mica was very helpful with the neck design and i bascially bought oak tag and laid it out so i could see it. For mica to say its the first 5 string she could play, was a wonderful compliment and if you have short fingers like i do- i would recommend this neck highly.
it will be going on custom #2,
peace
jeff
