ya, jkpadget2, I'm with you. I've become so picky about the details now that this pearl, as good as it is on this one, still bugs the crap out of me. The Blackbird is number one on my list but not until they fix the pearl and tabs. I talked to one of our trusted dealers and he said that they made so many of the crappy pearls that he's not counting on it being fixed anytime soon. I think one of the modders would do a bang up business offering quality pearls for this rep. I know I'd get one.
Congrats, Yaron! It looks great - one of the best I've seen so far. Wear it well.
