Very nice pictures. I am glad to see your guitar is going well. I have yet to recieve my first pictures, but from what I hear, the first batch of pictures turns you into a Shamray addict! But hey, being inflicted with "Shamrayism" isn't such a bad thing in my opinion The artwork is also very cool; may I ask what inspired it?

Yeah, Matt, the first batch is like a drug man it keeps you craving for more. Well as far as the artwork concerned, I got my inspiration from the CS-0050 Rixplorer. At first I was clueless about what I wanted on the fretboard, so I thought I'd give the leaf and vine a try. After some surfing around here I discovered the Rixplorer and was very impressed by tribal inlays. Soon after that I began to design my own tribal and this is what came out
