You will have seen Muris`s custom guitar on his lessons, it was made by MK Guitars in Bosnia for him, its a beautifully finished and great looking guitar and not too long ago he posted THIS thread.
This got me thinking  Next year I was looking at making a "top end" guitar purchase, but wasnt 100% sure exactly what to get, Ibanez? PRS? this seemed like a really excellent alternative, spec my own guitar! ,I had a read through Muris`s post and he gave me the contact details. I did a bit of research on woods, pickups, hardware etc, colours, finishes and sent an email with the specs of a custom guitar I would like, to my delight I received an email back with a price, estimated building time and confirmation that this guitar would not be a problem to build. The choice was easy........ I had to have it  I have lots of comunications from Mirza of MK guitars and he has very kindly said that he`d take photos for me through various stages of the build, I`m not going to tell you my specs until its finished (around 5 months) but thought I`d start this thread to share my journey with you. Heres the first picture  You may notice that he`s written on it, it say "Chris , Merry Christmas & happy new year" I liked that

Another one pic from me Chris,neck will be fully done tonight tho,
needs to be rounded from the back,few hours of work and that's it!! As you can see,I putted some PUs and bridge just for the impression, those are not your pieces of course.  Mirza told me about color you wanted,nice choice I can say mate  Ohh and btw,seems like have got nicer piece of Rosewood than I .  Enjoy!!
