Nice. It has that favorite playing guitar look to it.

I like the dual humbuckers as opposed to just a bridge. Gives you more options. That way.

That looks great Al, nice vintage vibe to it. Nice brush work too, that finish looks classy. I saw this guitar prior to finishing and I was impressed with the nice clean work you did Al, well done.
