Just got my new PGK LP in , took about 7 or 8 weeks . Took a few weeks to finish and here she is...

so you guys know the full story , we lost our beloved twins a couple months ago . Yin and Yang , sister tabbies . They were both 18 and had a wonderful life . Before they passed I had yang paint for me , she used "milk paint " I took those and did the inlay . I used Box Elder wood

it turned out wonderfully , way beyond what I could have hoped for . I went with a Sheptone Tribute bridge HB and a mojoaxe compensated wraptail which really helped up the level of this build

Thanks ! Yeah the kits are pretty sweet . They have a very unique neck pocket that aligns it up perfect so it's fail free for noObs like me . It sounds really great too . I put a Sheptone tribute in it and it has it going on .
