*Somewhat Off Topic* :-) - If you like the looks of this guitar, have a look at its "EVIL TWIN"!

Sorry to take so long to report :(

The Bird of Prey arrived about a month ago. It plays beautifully. The neck is smooth and fast. and the 18v EMG setup is very nice. It's amazing how much more flexibility the EMGs give me using my PODxt Pro. These two were definitely made for each other. And the 20dB boost switch works just like it should. The white finish with the all black hardware is definitely cool.

The inlays look even better than in the pictures. They are really incredible. I'll post a few pics when I get a minute.

The only problem was an issue with the paint (white does tend to show everything), but after talking with Michael, Mr. Shamray is going to make that right. I'll keep you all posted on it as it progresses.

Here's the newly stripped and lacquered body of the Bird. It's getting a fresh coat of paint before it comes back home. :)

What was wrong with the paint in the first place Bill?

Hi Matt, it was just a little overspray. It would probably not even have been noticeable on anything but an all-white guitar.

Ah I see, well it certainly was good of Shamray to take it back; not that there was any other option, that is what SHOULD have been done, but I doubt Jackson or Gibson would have done the same. So it is good to see that Shamray stands beside its customers.

I agree completely, Matt. I've heard some real horror stories about the Gibson Custom Shop. It's great to see Shamray stand by their guitars. :)

Here's the Bird of Prey after getting an anti-gravity unit installed. :)

Actually, it's just gotten the last coat of paint. Next stop is the nitro finish. I'm getting psyched all over again!

My mistake - the previous picture is actually the clear coat. It should be ready for shipping in a week or so. Woohoo!

Bill "did" live in Oregon (back when the guitar was first ordered) but during the construction process, he moved to ALASKA...

Well, I've heard for sure that the Bird of Prey body has definitely shipped. I'll upload photos as soon as it's back here and I get it assembled.

Until then, please enjoy this one of a recent Alaskan sunrise.

The post office contacted me yesterday about the guitar body in transit from Russia. Customs wanted to know the package contents, and every single country of origin for each part.

It is one step closer to being back home!
