The prototype is coming along well - I am installing a Schaller Hannes bridge on this one. The quality of the top wood was not addressed on this guitar as it is a shape & function prototype - it may be modified some more before final production. I have also been in touch with Bare Knuckle Pickups - I can now offer them on all my guitars - contact me for pricing. I am hoping to use them exclusively for the Mantis 2 production.
Sorry about the poor picture quality:
