Very nice, Patrick.
Having the maple top flatsawn in the middle and running out to quartersawn at the edge looks pretty cool.
You must be "stoked"

I don't know if you have seen this and how it will affect the international patent.
(STEVENSVILLE, MD) June 5, 2006 — Paul Reed Smith Guitars is very pleased to announce that the United States Supreme Court today denied Gibson Guitar's final appeal of a Court of Appeals decision upholding PRS' right to make a single cutaway-style guitar. When first introduced more than six years ago at the NAMM show, the PRS Singlecut® quickly captured the attention of artists and critics, winning awards for its design and quality. Seeking to stop competition to its Les Paul brand single cutaway-style guitar, Gibson moved aggressively, filing a suit in Nashville that asserted trademark infringement. After several years of expensive and drawn-out litigation, the local federal district court judge initially sided with Gibson. That court ordered PRS to stop sales of its Singlecut®. Several companies joined PRS in urging the appellate court--the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit--to reverse the decision. Last year, the Sixth Circuit ruled that an injunction should never have been issued by the lower court. The court observed that Gibson conceded that only "an idiot" would ever confuse a PRS Singlecut® and a Gibson Les Paul. Based on that concession and the overwhelming evidence, the Sixth Circuit found that Gibson's trademark case had no merit and summarily dismissed the suit. The Supreme Court's decision today leaves the Sixth Circuit opinion in place and ends Gibson's multi-year effort to thwart legitimate competition under the guise of intellectual property law.
Paul Reed Smith, the company founder, stated: "I am delighted for our employees, our dealers, our customers and the industry. Everyone was extremely supportive of our cause and our company over the last six years, fully embracing our decision to fight back against Gibson's charges." Smith added: "My thanks especially go to those in the industry who helped educate the court: the media, our industry peers, guitar craftsmen and industry scholars. Their help was invaluable.”

I belive this sets a precedent

Well, it just means that the 'PRS singlecut body does not infringe on Gibson's trademark for the 'LP body' (something which anyone with EYES could have seen right from the beginning - since they are clearly distinct and different body shapes!)
But it has no real bearing on the stuff that we do here - making EXACT replicas of Gibson body shapes (and others!) that are currently only under the jurisdiction of AMERICAN trademark law. When those shapes become protected by International trademarks, then we will be required by law to 'cease and desist'!
Sure, at that time we will be able to make "similar but different" bodies, but thats not what many of our clients ask for (for example, yourself...)
