Finally got this beauty ready for Roland Rat (Gareth) from this forum.
We started making this last year as a surprise 50th birthday present for someone
Halfway through the build I decided that I wasn't 100% happy with a couple of the inlays - just a little too much filler at the edges of the inlay (and nothing major - I was just being a bit perfectionist)
So I started the project all over again and built the second one which was completed and completely shock the birthday boy.
However afterwards I had a chat with Gareth (who already has a couple of our guitars and knows only too well how hard it is to find a great left handed guitar) about the half finished one.
After a bit of negotiation we settled on a price that suited us both and we proceeded to carry on making this one to the original specs:
Sperzel tuners, Graphtech nut, Dunlop 6155 frets, BKP Abraxas pickups, Hipshot tremolo, coil tap on tone push pull
Colour we kept the same - somewhere between Emerald and Apple green
So after much patience from Gareth - here she is in all her glory ready to be shipped off this week.

Thanks for posting the pictures Johnathan. I can not wait. Have always wanted a PRS style guitar but being left handed has made it some what difficult to get one without paying silly money. So I am really happy at geting this one from Johnathan. If it plays has well as it looks I am going to over the moon.
Will tell you all more once I have got it and given it a good playing.

Looks great - but in that colour shouldn't it have Emeralds?!

Yes - that's what we did with the Emerald Lion
But this was for someone that was a Santana fan , so Abraxas was a good choice and Gareth liked the sound of the specs we used last time and elected to keep it the same
