The custom Roxie arrived ...

wowsers! Why did I wait so long to check into this thread? That is astounding.

btw, I think your afternoon iPhone pics look better than Dan's

Can you explain the control layout and give us some feedback on the piezo once you've had a chance to put some miles on it?

Bridge vol w/push-pull series/parallel switch on the cutaway. Neck vol w/push-pull series/parallel switch nearest the Floyd. Master tone for the magnetic pups just below that. Magnetic / piezo push-pull w/ piezo volume nearest the jack. The 3-way is wired as normal. With the Acousti-phonic piezo preamp you can also wire in a magnetic / piezo mix but we didn't on this one. The Ghost Floyd is also capable of supporting hex out to drive MIDI devices (via a Hexpander circuit that can be added in conjunction with or in addition to the Acousti-phonic) but that's not something I'd use regularly so I skipped it as well. Well, at least I'm mostly certain they wired the push-pull pots as series-parallel; we discussed both that & coil splitting & I left Dan with the idea that I didn't mind either way and he should do whatever sounded better with the '78s. :lol Sounds phenomenal by the way, parallel + vintage Marshall models on the Axe FX2 is pure old school late 60s early 70s rock. Just killer.

I became familiar with the Graph Tech piezo Floyd after picking up a Lifeson LP. Loved it & asked Dan late in the build process to incorporate one on this Roxie (thanks Dan!) It works well and, to my decidedly non-professional ears, sounds great. Couple it with an acoustic guitar IR on the Axe-FX 2 and it's nearly enough to cause my acoustics to gather dust on a semi-permanent basis (not because it's indistinguishable tonally but because it's so much more fun to play and kind of a decent enough approximation for me). If you're into this sort of thing I think Graph Tech offers a great option.

Sure it's very over-the-top but that's icing on the cake in this case. I spec'd it as a player with a good bit of tonal variety and Dan and the crew at GMP pulled it off even better than I expected.

Turned out great! Got any Vs to sell me??

Yes if Jackson. Maybe if other.

[Snoogans]

Oh hell yes! That's freakin' killer

Are there any GMPs out there that aren't amazing?

not big on the graphic but that entire guitar is a work of art. Congratulations.

Super interested in the floyd peizos

Try one, it's not that expensive. You can pick up a set of Ghost piezo saddles that are drop-in replacements for anything compatible with an OFR & the Acousti-phonic preamp for like $250.

that's one of the sickest customs I've ever seen.

I hope you love it!

Thanks & yes, I absolutely do!

I do have to admit, however, that I'm glad Dan talked me down when I asked him to do exactly this but over bass-boat flake & with gold hardware. He's right in that in might have been juuuuust a bit much had we gone that route.
