So today I've ordered a calibrated MiracleMan set, chrome, engraved with allen bolts...
I'm having them sent to Poland where a luthier at this moment is building me a custom guitar which I hope will turn out spectacular!!

I've never ordered a custom before, and there's gonna be a deep hole in the old bank account, but It's really exciting to see how it'll turn out!

So if someone's interested I'll put some pics up in about 8 weeks when it's finished? :roll:

TOTALLY INTERESTED.

Yes, BKPs are expensive here in the US, too. But so worth it!!!

I can give you a small hint of what it will look like:

ESP Horizon style body
Neck-thru
Jackson Soloist SLS headstock
Deep see-thru-blue color with black burst on body+headstock
5-piece neck
Backside clear laquered
white-black-white binding
Tuneomatic bridge
Chrome hardware
Ebony fretboard
Ebony pickuprings
One medium-sized wooden tribal inlay on fretboard
And of course the MM set

Can't wait to see the pics :D

Well, you can probably understand how I feel?
I've just pictured the guitar in my mind before I sent them the specs, it'll be nervwrecking opening the package...

Of course Horizon body and Jackson head wasn't very bold choice so I will probably be happy with the shape.

Let's just hope them polish guys can build guitars?

Sounds like a nice guitar. I had a custom guitar built for me about a year ago, so I know how it is to wait for these things. :) I hope it turns out to be as good as you imagine.

:D Definatley post pics please. Just remeber you won`t be going out after you get your custom build as you`ll have Godly tone & therefore won`t want to put your guitar down !! :P

OK, guys, there has been some delay in the building process, beecause of delayed hardware orders from USA and other stuff, but I thought I would show you a few pics they sent me of the neck...
The inlay is 3 different exotic woods, adn the binding is white-black-white.
