I saw this at the factory on my visit. It's a beauty.

There are letters and numbers in the pickup routes. What is the meaning?

Given its proximity to my instrument's assignment from late last year, I'd guess 14877 will be this one's serial number.

jzstephan

Yes, that sounds right. But what is the other one? It looks like it could be either JZS or JRS. What it is?

The number is the work order number: they don't get a serial number until they're completed. Only a guess, but the letters might be your initials? (judging by your screen name)

David Houck

I think the initials are the person who carved the body.

jzstephan

Anybody know who did the carving? What are the letters? It's difficult to read in these pictures. Please, any help?

Jack carved your guitar.  
 
Got the Skyway! So now I can confirm the placement of the controls in context with the trem.

Cool looking case. I have absolutely no idea about the price of such an object, but I emailed the company, so we should find out eventually.

I got a very nice reply from Igarashi at Aero Concept. The guitar case is a display item only, but they will make a custom order.  
 
The price is about 1,500,000 Yen, plus they said they need the guitar to fit it and maybe 2 or 3 visits to their factory to check details. Not sure about the total time to manufacture.
 
Now you know.

Wow!
It's COOOOOL !!!
I didn't know the maker Aero Concept.
 
But, 1,500,000 JPY = 19,500 USD !
I will order new Series 2, if I have such money !
