Some finished Bombshell pictures..
Well almost done. Still have to do t he final setup. Lower the action, pickup, dress frets, and some shielding. Never the less it sounds huge. P90's rock my world. The color washed out in some of them, but I'm going to give another go at some pictures next week.

Re: Some finished Bombshell pictures..
Oh my god I can't even stand the G.A.S. right now. I'm almost willing to make a very poor un-prioritized decision to get one of these. Sell my car? maybe. Ida know, I've wanted a Jr. for a couple of years now, and these are just amazing. I may be speaking with you soon John.

Re: Some finished Bombshell pictures..
John, very very nice speaking with you today. These are just beautiful peices of art. But you know what, when I get mine, I'm gonna play it hard!!! (I'll still take good care of her though).

Will I be the first MLP'er to get one of these beauties??

Likewise, and I hope you do! I want my guitars played not just looked at!

I believe you will!

Very cool. It looks traditional but still has a modern edge to it. Awesome!

Thanks. I got another one I'll have pics of by the end of the weekend. It's a surf green one. After that next week I'll start getting the traditional looking ones out....

Re: Some finished Bombshell pictures..
Beautiful.......looking at the build pics I think it would look cool in a matte clear finish (like the LP Standard Faded) with no pickguard - I like the huge neck joint on that thing.......
