Here it is hanging in the room my wife calls my "Man Cave" (guitars, amps, surround sound, and burgundy leather furniture.... why would she feel this is a "man room"? ;) )

Note: The scraps of cloth on the other two hooks are precautionary... even though the manufacturer says the hooks are nitro safe, both guitars have nitro finishes and I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Here's my next project...

I've heavily contoured the back (since the pic), added a scallop in the cutaway, and a bevel by the forearm. The bridge is a VINTAGE Floyd rose... NO Fine tuners. :D

The Electronics are most likely going to be a humbucker in the bridge, and then a slanted middle and slanted neck single. I'm working out the switching combinations, but I know there will be two blade switches side by side. One will work the humbucker with one of the positions being off... while the other blade is for various combinations of the neck singles including series and parallel. I have a couple other tricks up my sleeve as well.

I know a guy who uses one of those old no fine tuner Floyds in his main guitar, he says it sounds better than the fine tuner ones and sustains better. I've always thought they were kind of a cool snapshot of guitar technology history.
