Hey all, I apologize, but I'm a little late posting this... Last week I received my custom Silverangel Econo A from Ken Ratcliff. It has a cedar top, 1 piece soft maple back and sides, radiused ebony fretboard, speed neck and an internal K&K Twin installed. It is finished in what ken called "old violin" finish from an instrument he had posted on the MC back in 2016 that I really loved. I had him do a satin finish with the varnish and with the Gold Hardware, it has turned out just loverly!
I chose the woods based off of meeting up with David Mold and trying out his SA,... I loved the deep warm tone it had and had to have mine the same... I think its a little different, but it is still a machine!
I have ordered some black tuner buttons for the Grover Tuners, and hopefully they will fit . I've also ordered a non braided Lakota strap and have made a distressed Ebonized Walnut armrest for it and will probably transfer the Tonegard from my Eastman to the SA

Currently I haven't taken any pics of my own, but here are the ones that Ken sent to me when he finished it:
And here it is in action.
