Got this a few months back from Manchester Guitar Tech Steve, here is a link to his site where he shows the finishing proccess:

and here is a link to GSPBASSES who supplied the body/neck and where Steve posts some comments:

Sad to have to think about letting it go, but needs must. Just splashed out on a semi-acoustic Hamer Artist Custom (which is an absolute stunner by the way), so need to get some cash back into the accounts.
Plays faultlessley and sounds awesome, intonation is spot on and quality hardware gets the best out of the Tonerider P90. Im always amazed at how much variation in tone and grunt you can get out of this style of guitar. Couple of very small blemishes on the bodywork, other than that its as new.

the above pics make it look a bit washed out, it is in fact a very vibrant colour, here are some of Steves shots:

I knew that would be the first question asked, it was the first thing I asked Steve as well!.
its a nice handfull, not clubby like an original. Here is what Steve said when asked,
Hope he does'nt mind me quoting him
The neck is similar to a Gibson 60s profile, but if anything deeper at the first fret and shallower at the 12th. It doesn't taper much, being a similar depth the whole length.

Well that didn`t last long............ :-S
Yes , you can tell by that mark on the headstock ...
...in the shape of the word Gibson..
Actually my bad, it may not be , but the price would have suggested it was. :-?
Lovely though.
Like I said , my bad ...
