    That body looks unreal!!
    Looks like the neck has a satin finish to it.
    What are the neck specs?
    Mr. Patience.... ask for a free consultation.

        The neck is 25.5" scale, 24 fret with the Wizard profile. Woods are Rockmaple with a Flamed maple fingerboard, and a sealer coat finish.

        Headstock is rockmaple with an ebony veneer.

            Gorgeous! I love the sound of swamp ash. I'd love to know what you think of that single coild once you've had a few hours with it.

                  Nice.
                  I love the amber color it really brings out the beauty of the grain.
                  Peace, Love and Happieness and all that stuff...

                  I personally do not care how it was built as long as it is a good playing/sounding instrument.

                  Yes, there's a bee in the pudding.

                      Hey fill me in on these pickups you are using. Where can I hear some clips of them? Do any pro's use them? What is the price on that humbucker?

                          BKP site, the forums on there are well worth joining imo.
                          The company has a couple of official clips but the majority are ones that the customers have made themselves and are all on the forums...

                          Pro Users wise they have: Jag Panzer, Ozzmosis, Twilight Oddessey, Steven Segal (LOL), Geoff Whitehorn, Muse, Therapy, Steve Stevens (Billy Idol), Sikth, Ancient Rites.

                          They are growing fast and everyone whos ever used one and posted on forums\done a press review has said they are amazing.. They can customise pickups aswell, and do different finishes on the covered ones etc

                          Nailbombs are £90\$162 open or £99\$178 covered (but for US orders i dont think theres any VAT to pay so they will be about 17.5% cheaper, youd need to check):

                            Neat-looking machine. I like the slanted neck single-coil - that's a nice touch. Looks it will be an understated fire-breathing shred machine.
                            Takeoffs are optional but landings are mandatory.

                              Looks great, kinda like a classier lynch/5150 guitar. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
                              You doesn´t have to answer of course, but how much did it cost? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
