Thanks! I am really happy with how it turned out!
I can't wait either. Nick sent me the photo with the comment "I think it's my best sunburst", it's really going to pop under finish!"

Finished (the finish)
I spoke to Nick last week, he's put the final coat of lacquer on the guitar. He took a week to properly set up his spray room. He has a small enclosed area in which he does the spraying, which has a powerful exhaust system, and a separate enclosed area for the compressor "to avoid mixing fumes and electrical sparks". Nick then described to me his breathing apparatus. A regular mask doesn't fit properly, due to his beard, so he modified a snorkel with the addition of a filter on the end.
"It looks goofy, but it works great" is Nick's assessment.

Mr. Kukich always stood by his neck attachment technique, adamantly declaring that the bolt on neck was the best approach. I recently helped a friend with his Gibson Mastertone banjo and was pleased to see the same two machine lags holding the neck on.

That reminds me of those OSHA slide shows they showed during their safety briefings.

Walter White came to my mind.
