  • RR3013 XTRR has arrived!

    Well the journey that started on 11/23/2004 has finally ended. After 21 months of waiting, I finally found something on my doorstep Wed evening.

    All mahogany body, 3 piece mahogany neck, binding over the 25 frets, the bevels are painted to match the red pearloid binding, one EMG 85 in 18v configuration, there is pretty much nothing standard about my new arrival.

    Plays sweet, though there are a few minor things that really don't bother me. The custom neck profile and backshape is pretty much dead-on to what I ordered. The guitar does look much nicer than any pictures I tried to take.

    I'm at home sick with the flu... yes, in the middle of the summer, when I always seem to get it. I can stand in shorts and a shirt in the middle of the winter at 40 degrees for hours on end and be fine, but catch all of my colds when it's the hottest. Go figure. Anyways, these are the best pictures you'll get for a while.

    Oh, the 18v battery compartment is perfect and I love how the battery access is. Enjoy the pr0n!

        V's aren't my bag, but that is a sweet one.
        The red outline around the logo is very nice.

            That guitar kicks @ss, Mike. Congrats!

            Is the trem recessed or not? Can't tell from the pics.

            And I know what you mean on the wait. Not quite that long for a couple of mine, but getting fairly close.

                Finally! Congrats xeno! I keep finding cool features on your CS. No truss cover, eh? I would never had gotten that idea, but it looks very good!

                  Looks non-recessed to me.

                      i've seen slanted cut fretboards (common on warrior pro's and customs), but this'll be the first time i've seen the fretboard rr-shaped.
