What a beautiful guitar John!  The wood choice and features are stupendous and so well executed Congratulations, Enjoy, and Play it Healthy!

I love this guitar!  So much off the scale cool stuff, yet it all works together beautifully.

WOW! That is exquisite! The woods are absolutely gorgeous! Enjoy in good health, John.

What Dave said..... Stunningly beautiful.
I do like that body style more on guitar than bass I have to say.

stunning looks!!!

As usual, an incredible guitar, enjoy it John

Congrats John. I've followed your build since I saw it 'in the flesh' and just knew it would be CotM.

Thanks everyone: I am truly honored and humbled.  I know everyone likes pics; so here's some more!  Ebony and purpleheart knobs - fluted just like stock knobs.  

 

Who did the knobs? What size are they (top hat or collet knob size)? I like what I see and would consider getting a set for my Series and maybe fretless.

David King, top hat.

Wow, what a stunning instrument. So many cool details (for a minute I thought to myself hey, this is a Series II, where's the humcanceller and then realized it had a piece of the book matched wood!). Love the logo, too. And the wood, well, I'm speechless at its beauty.

Great looking guitar

Excellent in every way ! Congratulations !
