Will be played until the stainless steel frets wear off, lol. I don't do live gigs or anything... a small home studio is where my guitars stay.

You need to go on a Fret Tour with that guitar, and visit us all and let us play it!
Looks simply stunning.

The electronics are being hooked up... the engraved truss rod and trem plate
covers are being delivered this week; Argentariis is finishing off the second
knob engraving this week; and below is the signed peghead in black lacquer.

Fret Tour - I should have said Fret Member Tour. I meant visiting us Fret members and show it off!

With you now living in Alberta, I bet it would cost less to visit you in Sweden, lol.
I had www.ScottOuderkirk.com create a custom case for the JEM (you send him any case and he does the priming, sketch, and sealing). He did a Hendrix case for me when I had a Hendrix Tribute guitar done. Below you will see some sketched out ideas, along with the final image:

No one has questioned the bees yet. I didn't know this, but Vai does beekeeping on his off time, as a hobby.

I have an idea for a Black Strat (David Gilmour) concept guitar and may get Argentariis to develop little pig tuner keys. The leaf knobs and tuner pegs are shipping this Wednesday:

The neck is set, Locking nut installed - ready to solder in the pickguard and install the bridge spring's and claw.

Report so far from the luthier:
"Plays like my guitars." This is to be expected and I can't wait, since this is all I play. "Tone is bright but full; very articulate; easy to control feedback." This is exactly what Sublime Pickups set out to do (and this is a mahogany body, which many claim will produce 'dark' tones). "I have fret leveling to do on a few frets; normal setup stuff, another few days and it's playing like I meant it to." Engraved plates on truss rodd and trem yet to be installed.

Here is the link to the "Ghost Ground" technique that Stephen Casper did on the JEM guitar:

The mostly-finished product; I'll post higher quality images once I received
the guitar and attached the silver peg heads and knobs:

The JEM Sublime is shipping in about a week or so... Casper Guitar Technologies is on the finishes touches. The Sublime Pickups are of an interesting construction. Turned up full, they have very similar tones with great 'punch,' but as you roll off the volume each have unique characteristics. The neck pickup should be incredible for some soaring leads... it was constructed so that there are bell-like overtones that ring out, making for a quality that is not typically in most pickups. Stephen Casper confirmed this as he did a trial run yesterday. Hoping for a bit of a YouTube in the next few days from the luthier.

ill a bit of setting up to do (and I have to attach the silver hardware once I receive the guitar)... here is a video of the luthier testing things out (notice the blonde JEM off to the side... a project for himself).
