Hey, how did your black limba deal go?

Hey man, you inbox is full so ill send out this message on here now that I think about it I might as well ask, how much would you charge to just do the whole fretboard replacement and install extra jumbo frets on the jackson if I sent you the whole guitar? How about if you just replaced the board but didnt install frets? Remember the boards gonna be blank with no inlays, just brass or silver side dots. Id send the guitar out without any hardware so you didnt have to do any disassembly. Let me know a price and how long you think it'd take you! Thanks!

Hey brother not sure if you got my PM....when do you want to set up the refiish?

Shane awsome work I love the Valkyrie!!! Wish that was released to the general public.

Oh and you must show the Polka Dot V at some point too...

Very Cool!!!

Grease... here they are... they are all but ready for paint now.... I'll grab a pic tonight when i get home..

Obviously, they are ffraternal twins.. not itentical

Hello Shane,
Any pics of the twin JR's you speak of in your signature?

Fracture.... The Valkyrie is my own design.... Back in 1985, I decided to morph my two favorite guitars into ONE guitar.. a Gibson SG and a Hamer Scarab.. the result was something similar to this guitar

Well... Apparently, at about the same time, Rob Cavastany of Death Angel went to Grover Jackson with a very similar design.... I saw it in a video in like 1991, but never saw another one, so i kept on building mine!!

Flash to 2007 ish, i've built a couple of what i call interceptors for local people and the one in the top picture is hanging in BCR music..... out comes the new Jackson Catalog.. there is a picture of a Death Angel Rob Cavastany Signature series guitar... DAMMIT...

Soooooooo I said screw it, i have no money and no proof to fihgt Jackson.... so I redesigned the bastard!!!!!!! I never liked the strap position on the Interceptors anyway!!

That Valkyrie is pretty cool, actually very cool. Major departure from traditional design.
I like where the strap connection is. What was the inspiration?
