You're getting to be a pro at this Tony. Careful, Ace may call one day to get another built!

Re: Ace Flasher #2 Build
Did you change necks on the 1st one? I thought that you trimmed the headstock down into the shape of a Gibson Flying V to match Ace's Flasher?
Please advice

Yep the the UFO has the pointed V like headstock, the flashers stayed stock.
And correct ive done 2 flashers, 1 UFO and now im on the Explorer in Tiger motif grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Ive had ideas of a hybrid flasher with the signature Ace 3 pickups and the light show that ALSO does the smoke !!! i dont think its ever been done so maybe this year i will create the muther of all Ace guitars !!!
