Great stuff - looks fantastic! LPB is probably my favourite custom colour. Do you have more pictures? Were V&R able to provide you with some provenance for this instrument?
This one doesn't look too shabby...

I think there's much to be said for the early EB Rays, from about 1986 to 1990. 4-bolt, lacquered necks. Sound a bit more mellow than the new ones to my ears, especially the 2-bands. They seem to go for far less than the pre-EBs.

Half finished? What do you mean by that?
