It's been a while since the final phase of my vision FIFTEEN years in the making was ready. Today, I pulled the trigger and placed the order.
The backstory to this journey is too long and storied to recap here, but there are a couple of threads in the community for those who want to know more.
Suffice it to say, I placed my order for an ASAT HH RMC with custom-made Cavalier pickups. They aren't normal Cavalier pickups. they were re-engineered from the ground up, and I got the covers 3d scanned and printed in white.
Here is a cleaner imagining of the image than i've shared before, which shows more accurate measurements, some pickup routes, some minor shading for depth. Still rough, but definitely better than before.
I made custom decals that match the old CLF model logos exactly. I wanted this to look like it could have been a production model in an alternate reality early 1980s. I give you, the ASAT HG-2R!

Hopefully it won't be too long a wait, but at this point, when it comes to wait times, in for a penny, in for a pound lol.
BTW, am I crazy, or is this a REALLY cool design? Like, who else would be all over this if it were a production model? i wonder if I'm the only one who sees what I see.
