The pics didnt give back what the satin glacial frost white colour looks like
The white looks definitely very frosty in my opinion.

Here's my latest fiddle. It's a home brew P-bird with an African mahogany body and a quartersawn torrefied maple neck and a Madagascar rosewood board. I wound the humbucking pickups with alnico 5's to 8.5K and 9.5K. The body is finished in a light satin nitro. The neck is currently unfinished, and will probably stay raw. The word on the street is that baked-maple is stable enough to leave raw without any worry. It sanded and polished to the smoothest damned neck I've ever felt. This is also the first time I worked with torrefied maple, with was pretty cool. When carving and sanding the neck, my whole shop smelled like pancakes.

Never heard of this company, but it looks great. Love nitro finishes.

I'd never heard of them either but I'm sure glad I did. Most amazing guitar I've ever played, even beats out my 1968 Les Paul Custom Deluxe.

Absolute amazing guitar! Wonderfull.
How do you get it? Tell us the story!
Came across a guy named Mark Cuthbertson playing one on Youtube. I was immediately taken with the tone so I reached out to him to find out exactly what he used to achieve it. I was surprised that the answer was nothing more than a Kemper with an MBritt profile and a OD pedal from Rockett Pedals called the Blue Note. I'd never heard a guitar sound quite like that; very distinctive, very articulate. After that it was just a matter of reaching out to Ronin Guitars and deciding what I wanted. It took about 9 months to build but I can say that it was worth the wait and every penny. The setup and finish of the instrument is the best I have ever played. The articulation and balance from string to string is perfect. Add on to that, the guys at Ronin are absolutely the best to work with.
@lookitsrich do you have any soundbites?

Awhile ago I did a comparison between multiple guitars. I'll have to dig it up.
we´re a waitin'
These are some of my latest guitars. I have 2 Warmoth which I asked them to build me a specific body and neck and then I put them together. I replaced the humbucking pickups with PRS 59/09 on both Warmoth guitars.
Crumpets!
Speechless, warlus1!
Ok I see, here are the guys with the same GAS as me and it seems you like classics, so here is my latest addition which happens to be a classic too, only it is not in that good shape as all the others here. Nevertheless I'll share. Its a probably 1974 Framus Nashville Standard. Unfortunately the repairshop where the last owner went to threw out the 6 position switch. Going to bring that back soon..

Hope you like it..
When was the Framus build with the P90 PU?
Edit: Oh you wrote it! 1974.
She has seen better days, but at least she's back in my hands.

It's a 1989 Fender HM (Heavy Metal) Strat. 24 frets, maple fretboard, Kahler Spyder bridge. Once the signature model of the great Greg Howe.
I bought it second hand in really bad condition, and over the years had it repainted and replaced the bridge and locknut entirely. I was also forced to replace the Super Distortion in the bridge after an evil tech who I gave it to for the repaint job tried to palm off some generic pup in place of the original article. It now has an Invader in the bridge.
I had left it with my brother for some time, but was really yearning to get this one back in my hands again. Probably get him a regular Strat as a replacement.
It's got a very odd radius that just feels great. And the guitar "talks" for some reason, when it's around my chest and it's plugged into an amp, my voice gets picked up by the pup.

I can so relate to this, AJ!
