i didnt want the gibson style bridge as there used on to many guitars but at the same time they dont sell the PRS bridge freely so this was one of the closest available

and just for fun, here is a (very rough) photoshop mockup of one of several possible top layouts

After the wood arrives here from America and we get it bookmatched, then we will send Gary a bunch of photos and he will pick the actual configuration that we shall use...

Woot! Very nice top you chose Gary :) and welcome to the addictive world of Shamray ;)!
I read you consider using abalone for your "Bat inlays" , have a looksie in the topic of cs-0045 you can see the abalone shells Michael got me from New Sealand. If your into blue accents i know youll like them.

cheers for the link HACK but i think ill stick with the badass for now, im sure ill have time to change my mind if i do and im sure the micheal will be very helpfull about it

and yeah i love that top, what a great find, just had a look at CS-0045 and that abalone looks great in the pic and im sure it looks better in life. also having a blue finish should compliment it nicely. as the top was actually under my budget i am also now having scrimshaw engraving on my bats to add greater detail to make this guitar as nice as possible

just received an email from mike with an update, Mr Sushkov will be continuing the build of my guitar due to delays with Danilla's other build, after following recent PRS esque builds DAP-custom, KKustom and Custom orphan i must say i did find this very exiting news as the inlay work and finish on the guitars mentioned are outstanding and im sure Sushkov will not let me down with this one.

also the finish has changed to a PRS privrate stock style to:

but its going to be blue mist instead of purple.

speaking of color, i will be emailing you pics shortly, showing the very first dye treatment ( one of several stages that eventually lead to your final top color)
