Dat top!!!

Man I am super stoked. I've been busting Joe's (Balaguer) chops about seeing the guitar. He surprised me with pics this morning. The neck single coil still needs to be routed but man I am really loving the top on this!

Cool shape Jer!
Thanks! It's Joe's "Archetype" model. I opted for non-beveled. It'll be hard tail, 1 hum/1 single but the single is actually a stacked hum bucker. Trans green dark burst with black hardware.
 
Looking great man. This is the one you are doing with a see thru free. Right?

Yessir!

This is my inspiration for the finish:

That looks awesome! You've said you like their pickups too and the ones you played thru the Juno sounded great. What are you putting in this one?

Thanks! I am putting the same bridge pickup in this guy that's in the vid for the KSR. I am putting his new stacked single coil in the neck position. 1 hum/1single is my favorite configuration. His pickups split really well too which is nice.
 
looks terrific! That top is gonna be killer. Is it an ebony fretboard?

Yeah ebony board. 5-piece roasted maple neck with walnut stringers.
