Artie's got a really interesting guitar taking form:

 It's based on the 20th Anniversary body, with a smooth bottom and as a set neck. Lot of grain for Padauk (Vermilion).  

 Neck roughed and ready for the fingerboard. The veneer on the peghead and the body laminate match really well - the lighting in the two areas yileds different colors.

With sealer coats in spray:  

 Sorry for the extreme angle here - the paint is actually wet, so I couldn't get in real close  

All dressed up, and on the truck to you:
 

Wow, an instant clasic! Beautiful guitar!
