I just don't dig the chop tanks... the Severns are cool, but with the pickguard and such I like the upper horn.

I like the design. The naming schemes (Choptank? Raspberry Creme?) need to be shitcanned, though.
 
I think I would like it more without the maple part. Just cut the body out along the sunburst edge.
 
No likey. "Hey, look at the flame top we put on this!.......oh wait, you can only see the edges....that'll be 8 grand, please!"
