Re: Custom XTRR arrived!!!

Very nice guitar indeed. Congrats! I was also talking to Kevin before he posted the pictures but the stop tail kept me back. There were some differences between how he described it and the pictures. I'm glad someone here got it. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

I originally ordered a Charvel retro Star from Kevin a year ago. I paid the deposit and never received the guitar. It turned out that Kevin had never even ordered it. A couple of months ago I changed my order to a custom idea (Holmes black rhoads). Kevin promised to forward it to Jackson but never did. I also tried ordering some parts from him with the deposit that I had paid and I never received anything. Then when Ian told me this guitar was available I called Kevin and made a deal. First he tried to take over 200usd more from my credit card than agreed, but luckily the transaction failed for other reasons. He also estimated the shipping at 400USD! Once the payment was done I had to call him four days in a row before I finally got a tracking number.

Re: Custom XTRR arrived!!!

I loved this idea so much, I had my work order revised so there isn't a truss cover either. This looks amazing, IMO, much better than covering it with a cheesy piece of cheap plastic:

Re: Custom XTRR arrived!!!

Thanks xenophobe! Chris Holmes really had some great ideas. He also had the smallest possible electronics cavities on his guitars which I think is cool.
BTW I updated the pics of my White KV too. I finally got a JT6 for it and now she is back to original. Check it out:

Re: Custom XTRR arrived!!!

Jani, how come you removed the locking nut?

[RR0849]

Re: Custom XTRR arrived!!!

Ian - I don't like them and don't need them cause the guitar stays in tune. I removed the locking nut from J0506 also which has a Kahler. Funnily on J0506 I could just put a regular truss rod cover on it but on J3865 the top screw hole position didn't match. I don't know if that's the case with all truss rods covers under JT6 locking nuts?

Re: Custom XTRR arrived!!!

My first reaction to not having a truss rod cover was that I didn't like it at all. Having looked at this thread several more times though, I like the look of not having one alot. That's such a nice guitar.

Re: Custom XTRR arrived!!!

I think the matching head color helped for looking good without a truss rod cover.
If the headstock color was Black , it will look cheap without truss rod cover IMO.

Re: Custom XTRR arrived!!!

IMO, if the truss rod opening was finished/painted as nicely on all guitars as it appears to be on this one, I think it would look good regardless of the color of the headstock.
