I like that. I've seen some cool natural finishes, but that quilt embedded with the wood grain is very classy.

Love the natural Armada!

Keep 'em coming.

Casey, very cool, I'm usually a paint guy, but for some reason that looks very cool unfinished.

I wouldn't give it back either... it's absolutely GORGEOUS!
I remember playing my first Armada at NAMM... once you hear that tone in your head it never goes away

I don't think he's gonna promote it here so I'll do it for him (it's great btw):

Casey, thank you for that. Keep up the great forum presence.

Hello all, sorry for the late addition, for the last week I have been unable to use a computer, and am just getting back to my regular schedule. Since I was not able to post last week's update to The Vault I'll make a double post today!

First off is the Prince Vince, a special STV that was made with some custom requests for me. It uses the same paint as the Purple Majesty Monarchy series Majesties, a roasted maple neck with white binding and ebony fretboard, (i suspect it is actually rosewood.) stealth STV pickguargd, and gold hardware.

Next we have a special Valentine guitar that belongs to Sterling, featuring an ivory white paint scheme with gold pickguard and hardware, and yet another roasted and bound neck.

Just a quick aside, some of these photos were taken with a camera, and some with just an iphone. If you notice a drastic difference in quality between some pictures I'd like to know. Guess which ones were taken with what!

Wow, the flame on both those necks is off the charts!

My guess:

St.V. = iPhone
Valentine = Camera

For the record, both are completely acceptable photo quality, in my opinion.
