Donk, what color are you going to use for the top? Natural would be my vote...just look at it!!!:cool: What ever you decide, that will be one gorgeous guitar.

Natural would look awesome, but I fell in love with the PS color of Copperhead. Ron assures me this can be done. With gold hardware, gold p'up covers, and the rosewood neck and fingerboard, I promise this guitar will not dissapoint even the staunchest of critics. Oh, and it will sound killer as well.:dude:

[Erik]

Copperhead will look awesome, congratulations!!
