thanks Marty, this is the best work I have ever done with a guitar. Ed Elliot did the headstock logo to perfection, he is so talented and what a sweet guy.

All I can say is - WOW! That's awesome. Did you re-chrome the metal parts or are they new? Also, do you have any before pictures? It would be cool to see the transformation.
