	I forgot to note that the volume control was repositioned on BS II and to add my personal axe that I upgraded with EMG 81/85 pups, new 25K pots, an afterburner, a new FR trem and I painted the neck black:

	Thanks Fudgers! So far, I'm not getting top dollar for my hard work, so people are getting some killer deals. Normally a top quality custom paint job on a customer provided body will run $400 & up. I guess I have to get some repeat business/referrals and establish myself to start making some real profit. I have a 100% positive rating on every project (27) on Ebay, plus all happy sales through other channels. If things go well, I'll be upgrading my equipment and start on some really cool artwork (skulls, tiger stripes etc). Thanks again!

	Lookin really nice Kelly! So this is where you've been spending your time! Pretty polished work you're doin'! Do you buy the guits first and customize...or are these actually peoples guits who've dropped them off! I do like the work....I'd hate to have to ship my guit down state side.

	I will do either, but so far I've only been buying the guits/bodies/hardware and starting form scratch. I have some current customers who have some projects they will be sending... a Carvin and a Charvel. What kind of axe do you have? I could check on a body, do it up then ship it up. You could then take your neck and hardware and swap them out. Thanks Rich!

	A note; these pics have lost their luster in the transfer. I have some clearer pics in my artist gallery. If you click on my banner, then go to "artists gallery", you'll see a few there. Thanks!
