*****FAVORITE build of yours... Ever. PLEASE do one with silver leaf in a similar way (same type of wood and resin). Maybe add some blue to the resin in places, see through blue if its possible. Crazy silver tuners like you got in gold. Maybe a super strat style or an SG shape or maybe like a PRS or EVH shape. You could change things up enough for peoole to be super interested yet they know the quality and style will be the same as your previous build. I would probably make a third one in the series with black hardware and emerald leaf. That would be AMAZING.... Cheers mate. PS: maybe you could add glow in the dark powder to all the resin stuff. Would be amazing when played live.

A very pretty guitar, everything goes together really well, love how the gold leaf is carried through on the body, crown inlays and headstock. Also the small touches add so much, like you I'm not a fan of plastic humbucker surrounds (or even metal ones for that matter) but just dulling them off like you did looks so classy. For me (and I don't know why) but when you decided on the trapeze tailpiece and fitted it the whole guitar just looked fantastic, soooo glad you didn't go for the standard stop tailpiece they're look so bloody agricultural. I think this guitar is a nice balance between being different but not too outlandish, I think the gold leaf is the "star of the show" rather than the resin... It's a pity that the JPS Lotus F1 team aren't still in existence, would have looked great alongside one of their cars back in the day!
