The inlays have begun! Abalone PRS 513 style, with a custom 1st fret and a special Shamray logo for the 24th fret.

Michael was nice enough to include a picture of the actual shells they are obtaining the abalone from!

I know they had to look long and hard to find this quality material, so the wait was definitely worth it! Very cool :)

Beautiful work, Sushkov! These inlays are really coming along great. They will look even better in the fretboard!

WOW, Sushkov! Very creative with the abalone!

I have one question for you... What do you use to fill in the gaps in the fretboard, if your inlay cutout is slightly larger than the inlay? Thanks.

that looks good to me! The neck-body joint already has a 'vaccum-seal' fit (you can pick up the guitar and wave it around - it doesnt budge!) but that screw layout looks ideal for optimal neck stability :-)

With six neck screws, it should be a pretty tight joint fit!

Here's the boost switch installed. Michael is currently designing a high-tech boost receiver involving parabolic mirrors and a squirrel cage fan. It's complicated, but it should be de-classified within a few days. :)
