The Dargie arrived! Pics!
Hey everyone, thought I'd also share some photos of my new DD2 BFR JP6. As others have mentioned; the finish looks amazing in person, the pickups sound perfect, the ebony fretboard is super smooth....I can't say enough about it
I ordered the guitar from Pete (who I probably annoyed by the time it shipped with my status requests...sorry bro!) - he was awesome- when I placed my order I asked if he could get a backplate signed by JP when JP was at the shop for the Meet and Greet and he came through- thanks again Pete! Anyone have any specific recommendations on a spray lacquer that won't lift or damage the ink? I'd like to keep the backplate on the guitar but don't want to risk rubbing the signature off...
I tried playing with different lighting angles to get the different shades, somewhat successful

The pickguard can be sprayed by a professional with a few layers of lacquer, I had my son's guitar done that way to prevent the Steve Vai sig from disappear from the back of the headstock. If done well you won't even feel the lacquer.
