Jackson Guitars
Bolt on Spalt Maple Roundhorn Rhoads-Roundhorn Rhoads body, 1/8" Spalt flat top, Black Korina neck and body. Birdseye Maple Fingerboard. Ebony Sharkies. Black logo, hardware, binding. 1 Humbucker, Afterburner, coil tap. String Thru. Spalt Peghead. Jackson San Dimas Neck Profile. Strathead.
7 String Archtop Warrior-Archtop Warrior body, Neck thru Mahogany body and neck. Bloodwood Fingerboard, 1/8" Bloodwood top. Black with transparent natural Rising Sun Graphic. Black painted headstock and neck. Natural Binding, Black binding on neck, Bloodwood headstock binding. Ebony/Abalone Sharkeye Inlay, Abalone logo. H/H config, string thru, abalone knobs. SLS headstock.
Death Kelly-Black With Gold Leaf bevels. Mahogany neck and Body. Neck Thru. Gold Hardware, OFR, HSS. Gold Leaf Logo, Flamed Maple fingerboard with Ebony Sharkies. Gold V Plate. Rev. Headstock.
Mike Learn Demon ()-Demon Body, Mahogany neck and body neck thru with tone chambers. Mike Lean full body graphic (hell motif) Flaming Skull inlays. HH, OFR. Black Hardware.
Mike Learn Archtop Roswell Star-Roswell Star body, Archtop. Lacewood Neck and Body. Meteor inlays, Mike Learn full body graphic (space motif). H/S String Thru. Gold hardware.
I think that lineup would really turn some heads.
Oh and I love the webcam idea of Xeno's [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Even if they weren't on all the time but just occasionally so customers can see some of the process of how their guitar is built. Plus it might minimize the chance of a mistake being made like Jack's Demon had the incorrect cut on the bevel.
