Rich - this is a fabulous looking instrument!
 
I noticed in the changes/additions section that you've requested a very blue shell for the logo inlay.  Brilliant minds... I did the same for my custom Essence.  Blue LEDs as well?

yep...  
Brian, just keep in mind Mica said she\d try to keep the bluest shell paua. That could change, (colors), as they obtain/sand the shell material for the inlay. My hopes are for the bluest possible and thanks a lot too.

Mica,
Thanks... well the inlay\s looking Blue there, (I,IV,V)...could\nt resist, (and very shiny on the left), now about the orange traffic cone?    Good one, lol.
 
By the way the drilled holes for the controls; and the 5 pin; are placed per-fect-ly! Thank you. They could not be placed better.
