Very cool!

Did you add the pickguard or did it come that way?

I think I like it more with the pickguard.
How much did the guitar run you money wise? I'm guessing like, 150?
This one shows reall good how the phoenix body was made, three slabs put together. Actually, yours looks like 5.
Still, can't go wrong with a Phoenix, although I personally prefer Peace-Sign logo era Phoenixes.
Nice guitar, either way, I'm sure your a happy person.

Very nice job on hte pickguard, and a great choice, it looks like it ought to have been made that way!

And those NA finish Phoenixes with the figured ash bodies and maple neck- mM! You just can't find that in many other guitars, no matter how you look.

This guitar shows real nice the body style, really brings it out.
You know, I really can't get over the styling.
It's that good. :D
