The meds sure haven't hurt your design. The green is beautiful, must have been influenced by the pot. Looks great!

Re: Super Pro build......sorta
Thanks Paul, I was tryin to come up with the green of my first S/B Pro II so I just poured stuff together till it looked close. Errrrr I actually have a prescription for the pot (woot!!). Lotta help and encouragement from Bent and Martin, Fred turned me on to Dale Tenney since Fred, and Gary Rittenberry, among others use Dale for their cnc work (ps. he's GREAT at it too) also can't leave James Morehead out as the changer housing and soon to arrive upgraded changer fingers are his babies....Stormy ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)

I'm normally not partial to the color green but I must say that your concoction is beeeaaauuutiful! The only other "greenish" finish that I've seen that I really like is on the MSA Legend and is called Carribean Blue. It's really a mix of green and blue in light hues blending into one another which gives a "teal" feeling to the overall finish. You might consider a variation of it on your next instrument.
Nonetheless - finish it up! We gotta see the end result!

Oh. If you've ever tried some Middle Eastern stuff ain't no tellin' what you'd come up with!

Hi Stormy,
You deserve praise indeed to get a psg to look that good. We take a lot of time, care & a whole load of patience, why? because we are passionate about this beautiful instrument and thank you with regards to my psg's. I wish that we could buy top class maple over here in the UK, well I think we can but it costs both arms and legs!!!! ($400) and that's just rough sawn! I think that you guys can buy it a whole lot cheaper?
All my best & carry on the good work,
Dave.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
