Looks great to me too-the carpet is a bit suspect though.

Glad you like it!
So you ordered from Mayones? Yes, they're supposed to be very good but also more expensive than the other polish builders I've checked out.
I sent them a request on the Regius 6, which would cost 1860 Euro. Then I would have to order the Bareknuckles myself. I would also have to pay extra for custom inlays and a change of color. So I would have ended up around 2500 Euros I think...
Have you ordered one of their standard models, or is it pure custom by your specs?

The things they suggested, which I accepted,  was the white-black-white binding, custom inlays, ebony pickup rings and the choice of wood....

List of luthiers I checked out:

www.ranguitars.com (Getting big! Well-reputed, long delivery time)
www.witkowskiguitars.com (Supposed to be one of Polands best)
www.rekguitars.com (Ordered from these guys, their answers and the interest they showed made me choose them.)
http://www.lootnick.com (well, look in their gallery, they can make guitars!)
http://www.martchguitars.u2.pl/ (Don't know)
http://www.pasguitars.com/ (Also supposed to be good, but they gave me a too expensive price on the shipping, but I'm sure I could have found another shipping company, cheaper than the one they had)
http://www.mayones.com/ (Big, and too expensive compared to the others)
http://nexus-guitars.com/ (Supposed to be one of the best in Poland too)
http://kaniaguitars.com/i2/1ang1.htm (Don't know)

Well, as far as I know they only do customized standard models, not total custom.
So I got me a Setius 7, which is a lot cheaper than the Regius. (I actually had no choice as they don't build the Regius for leftys). It will have a Crawler neck and a Nailbomb bridge and I can't wait to get it :)

But back to your guitar. As much as i look around for fancy looking guitars I always seem to go back to the more classy looking ones and the ESP Horizon body is a beauty. Also love your head and I'm a sucker for transparent blue with covered pickups....8)
In short: I would steal your guitar if I wasn't a lefty :D

Looking forward for some clips!

I've just been looking at some of those links, and Lootnick 'The sound of Innovation' seems to be mostly copies of Ibanez, Parker and various 80s pointy shapes. Exactly WHOSE Innovation is it the sound of?

They have now put some pics up on their homepage, as one of the few they've got there...
These pics are more in detail than the previous...
