I decided to customize an RG550.
It used to look like this.
Now it looks like this.
GMW Guitars in California did the work and are great to work with. Dan Lawrence was the artist and even signed the body. The workmanship is absolutly top notch. Factory grade finish and quality. The only draw back are the pickups. They could have been given a bit more attention. Packaged for shipping like they knew UPS would toss it around. No shipping damage at all and about 4 lbs of packing peanuts.
I won't say it was inexpensive. But remember, you get what you pay for. And I got my money's worth. Now I have to wait for Kirk's neck and the final assembly and set-up can take place. Pics of the finished guitar comming soon.
