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 blink.gif

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 laugh.gif

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 biggrin.gif You may notice that he`s written on it, it say "Chris , Merry Christmas & happy new year" I liked that biggrin.gif
