I can't stop staring at that grain......

He custom spec-ed a guitar with an OFR... just to block it?

That's what I do. It lets me bend with smaller finger motions, since the string won't move over a nut or saddles to compensate.

Well if you want an Ibanez, buy an Ibanez

I also block my Floyd's for feel. It's much different playing palm mutes on any other bridge. Floyd's just feel right. For the times that I do want to whammy though, I've got tremel-no installed so it's just a flick of a finger away.

Holy Jesus, mother of God. The one on the left !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is the coolest finish ever. I love how it's not just a standard chlorine-burst. I like how it's almost Erie-Dess-Burst with a tiny bit of purplish blended into the very outside edge. Make that in a 6-string and I'll be first in line to buy one.

Reminds me of Carvin's Dragonburst:

[Scholomance]

Holy mother. That burst is beautiful. I am really digging this shape. Maybe it would be worth the 2 year wait!

i mean, i like them, but i think they look to ibanez to me.

I thought it was just me but that always freaks me out seeing people take pics like that. I saw one guy yesterday had his brand new axe laying face-down in the dirt and grass and there was definitely nothing underneath it, but asphalt??? I wouldn't do that to a JS series let alone a custom shop!

I know right, what the hell are peeps thinking when they do this? I always love it when you see these pics for a guitar that's for sale. Most certain deal breaker for me, duh!
