Look at the perfection in that board.
The inlays, the binding, the fretwork, everything about that is stunning.
I forgot to mention the tiny details on the fret nibs in black and especially the last fret.
Notice the angled fret dressing that follows the end of the board.
And the paper thin white binding between the board and the black outer binding.
Amazing detail.

I am under request from Mike not to reveal this. Until the guitar is in my hands what he says goes!Alright. Enough with the BS. Show us the the headstock already.h34r:
some technical questions regarding wood choice:
- I'm very accustomed to the standard Hamer formula of maple neck/mahogany body. How does wenge sound, comparatively? Especially when mated to an ebony fretboard? And wenge is as strong/stable as maple?
- that solid maple body is shockingly stunning. pure wood porn. I'm concerned however about general reports of the sound of maple-bodied Californians - they're beautiful, but owners on the HFC seemed to have moved them along. On the one hand, I tend to sound the same no matter what I play, but on the other hand...I don't have any maple-bodied guitars.
Mike and I are in the idea stage at this point. Apparently, if I select wenge, it'll be twice the pain in the ass.....

Wenge is a very stable wood often favoured hy bass players. It is bright relatively and has been referred to as "growly".
Dont worry too much about maple body brightness. Big leaf maple isnt too bright. To me its interesting to hear of the FM body Cali observations. I have owned numerous FM Cali's and Mahogany bodied Cali's.
Granted the mahogany Cali's are warmer than the FM's but not enough for me to change my amp settings.

You can do a lot with a blank cheque
Indeed it is an incredible looking guitar. To me the finest super strat I have EVER seen.
