Thanks! I feel like a proud parent. I'll put some more pics of it up in a day or two. I got it with a flamed maple neck which the picture does not show.
To answer the price thing: I paid TOO much for it-- around the same price as vintage models go for on eBay. My (somewhat silly) justification is: I realized that my 'dream guitar' never existed in production: sherwood green, matching headstock, bound neck & blocks. Hence the custom order-- but I also had it "Master-built" instead of "Team-built." Why? I don't know.
