Hey dudes

Just got some cellphone pictures from Bernie Rico Jr of my finished custom Jekyll 727. The finish looks ridiculous!!

It's all mahogany neck-thru with a big flame maple top. Went with the Aftermath bridge, with a Riff-Raff neck.  :)

All the new stuff I've been getting is the result of shifting lots of gear around about a year ago, customs take a while to arrive! I have a non-exclusive endorsement with Rico Jr, so this guitar was more affordable than it might have otherwise been  :)

It's a nice colour, but I actually prefer the pink!

Ooh that's a beauty and no mistake!

Although does your Luthier know he didn't quite get the neck pickup aligned?

:D

Congrats, looking forward to the clips from this beast :)

Again another stunning axe making its way to you, Nolly! Your taste is impeccable, heh. I bet it growls like a rabid Dog outside a butchers, can't wait for clips.  :D

Happy almost-NGD. :lol: I had to move my laptop off the coffee-table and onto my lap after seeing this. For obvious reasons.

Jeepers, how many frets has that thing got?  Twenty-seven, or 26.5?

you'd think he'd have got the neck pickup straight for the price you paid, just shoddy work :lol:

love the colour, bet its a badass-sounding beast with that AM.
