Custom Shop soloist

[SLY]

Hello guys,

I just wanted to share with you the new beauty I just got : my absolute dream guitar : The Hellraiser Soloist :









It arrived after exactly 2 years, 1 month and 1 week after I placed the order, and it's very, very, very, very long. The guitar is a dream to play, the finish and everything is OK. I had only one problem, when they finished the guitar, the Jackson guys forgot the three scaloped frets, so the guitar needed to come back to factory to finish what they have missed, which is not quite serious when you buy a guitar at this price and you wait so much time.

I really thank Matt @ Matt's music who was such a cool guy, and it was a pleasure to deal with him a second time (the first time was for my graveyard soloist).

Wow!!!
Did you have to get copyright permission for that?

[Nazgul]

Wow!! Graphic came out great! And reverse sharkfins + reverse headstock rule!

[SLY]

Well, I ordered it more than two years ago, and I began to ask matt about it several months before. The copyright thing wasn't at that time very clear, and as the official site is updated once every ten years, they were proposing the Hellraiser finish in their list of custom options, I think that's why I didn't have much trouble. Maybe Matt helped me on that a little bit? He's such a great guy!

Looks cool man! Reverse headstocks are so kickass!

I don't know if it's the same for you, but there's no way a picture can give this graphic justice. It's 1000 times better in real!


I have a question for the guys who also have guitars with painted pickups, do you need to take special precautions for the care? Do the pick can put scratches on it?

I have those same pickup covers on one of my guitars and the best way to avoid any problems is dont play at all, remove before playing or get an extra set of pickup covers painted. LOL.
