That looks excellent Lew... are you sure you chose that spec?  :lol:  I agree ref the reflector knobs.... I really like that one!

[Lew]

Cheeky bugger  :lol:

Never seen a burst like that on a Strat type.... I'll take that off you if you don't bond with it!  8)

Looking forward to your review when it arrives.

I was a bit unsure with the "in progress" pics, but that actually looks really swish now it's been put together. Not sure about the purple knobs, though. How about silver?

They aren't common on Strat alikes. The one in this vid looks rather good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBg_UOx1JOE and this one http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-guitars/33750-petrucci-silverburst-ball-family-reserve-one-off.html

I don't really do reviews, it'll either be great, good, meh or naff :-p

Don't ya think there's too much silver going on all ready, though?

[dave_mc]

nah, i think it'd be all right. Time to hit up kisekae or photoshop, i think :D obviously do that before spending any money.

the stock knobs look fine to me. or as philly says, sg reflector knobs. Or just black speed knobs.

Very nice.  Im tending to agree with Philly. No need for purple knobs.

Argh, it's stuck in customs :s bet they charge me, they always do. Check out another of Scotts recently finished guitars, looks SICK :o

That's gorgeous :)
I'd like it even more if the body was an Musicman Axis shape, but I am imagining I'm playing some Nuno riffs on it right now 8)

They're plugging it into that amp that went missing as we speak.

It's looking real good, bet you can't wait to get your hands on it.

It'd be a miracle if they didn't.  I've got away with some DVDs and guitar parts, but they'd have to be pretty incompetent to miss some $%&#ing great box with a guitar in it.

I'm still in debate on purple vs pink for the silverburst :-p

happily Philly, i got the incompetent ones once! got a gibson les paul deluxe through with no charges :)

of course, they made up for it with all the charges on various dvds and such :(

looks like i have the opposite experience to you
