i have never seen any grades higher then 5A, but there is always the rare and insanly figured woods that might grade premium 5A or private stock or whatever.

there actually is no such thing as even AAAA and AAAAA grade, they are flowery marketing terms, and we only use them for convenience to describe really PRIMO pieces. 

Figured maple is only graded A, AA, and AAA - anything better than that is "Instrument Grade" and sometimes sells for astronomical prices. The really choice pieces usually don't last more than a week before they are snapped up... the market for Instrument Grade wood is VERY volatile!

Oooh, nice! Another good looking Pavel-strat! Congrats on it! Sweet looking ash and birdseye maple! Is that a one piece neck/fretboard? very 1954! Single layer PG too, I see! Nice with more strats around here. We're getting choked by all these PRS and Gibbo clones. ;-)

Yes, one piece neck/fretboard! :) You're right, it's going to be "1954ish", just some minor tweaks.

no impressions yet - since i gave them the pickups last week, i have seen nothing of your guitar :sweat:

Right now, there seems to be some 'black hole' in the shop preventing any kind of actual work getting done :fou:

the machine heads were installed already??? That could account for why they were missing from your parts box ( i could have sworn that Stepanov had bought them months ago!)

Last time i enquired about the status, Stepanov TOLD me they were just waiting on machine heads... maybe he is mistaken!

HMMMMM... and maybe its already completed but nobody thought to tell me??!?? (its been months since they put it away in its case "waiting for parts" - i dont even recall what state it was in then...)

i will check into this tommorrow!
