After reading this dumpster fire of a thread I was totally on your side because I was in a similar but way less dramatic situation (not being satisfied with a 4k guitar) but after seeing the way you talk to folks and your dishonesty in the reverb description (especially after the gymnastics you...
Time for some pics!
So far the body and neck are almost done. There are some minor details that I want Jan to change before the finish can be applied.
I can't wait to finally play that thing!
HNGD!!!
No clue how I have missed an Aviator post...
Glad to hear that you like it. I almost jumped on the same run but decided to go the custom route again.
Personally I prefer my Aviator to my Mayones and Ran (I actually sold my custom Regius 6 to fund another Aviator build) and if my second...

The guitar arrived with a...
Yeah, try to contact Northerner guitars and ask them about it. I'm from Europe what made shipping and customs super easy (non existent).
Basically thats it, the slots were pinching the strings and causing them to get stuck sometimes. Personally I prefer the strings to be sitting in the nut...
It's cool that you guys dig it!
It seems to be a combination of both, but I think its mainly the stain. You can find a pic of the raw top in the build thread, maybe you can see it better that way.
Thanks for the heads up. I will use that type of cloth from now on!
Yeah, I read somewhere that...
After waiting some time to get to know the guitar better I finally decided to do a NGD/review for my Aviator custom Texan 6.
