It's a Blackmachine. Small runs made in the UK. Nice craftsmanship. All natural with respect to woods and finishes. Really lets you hear the wood's voice. High demand for them by 7-stringers as well as low-tuners. Too costly. especially with the US Dollar tanking everywhere. Somewhere in the 2.5k USD range._______________________

That is a wild boast. ^^^^^Scott
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

I agree nice but overpriced._______________________

I agree nice but overpriced.
The B6 costs as much as a USA Select but is handbuilt... so the price on that is quite fair. The B7 features a lot of things you just can't get from Jackson, period, like the ebony top and rosewood neck, and there are very very few builders who can build those things at all, so the premium for one of those is fair as well.

Looks like it started out as a bent top and then he realized you cannot steam and form Ebony to match that kind of curve without cracking it.
So what does he do??? He fills in the bent top with some scrap to convert it to a flat top and then puts the Ebony on top.
Nice idea, but poorly executed.
Does nothing for me, but to each his own I guess.-Rick
