                Thanks guys! Specs to the best of my memory:

                Alder body in metallic black with red pinstripes
                3-piece oil finished flame maple neck
                Pau Ferro fretboard with Bloodwood inlays
                Reverse headstock
                Recessed Floyd Rose
                Last few frets scalloped
                WCR pickups (I think they are Herc's?)
                Volume knob is a push/push pup selector ala Caparison

                I will probably switch out the gold pickup rings for black ones and swap the pickups out for Bare Knuckle Crawlers or something similar to those (want less output). I will also probably lose the tone knob and put a 3-way switch in its place and have the push/push do coil split/tapping duties.

                I tell ya what, as much as this guitar looks like it is nothing but, a heavy metal machine--it really CAN do it all. Doesn't sound like any recessed Floyd Rose equipped guitar, I've ever played before. Really loud acoustically and I wouldn't have a probem using it for ANY style of music (except Jazz if I lose the tone knob).

                      You tap on the volume pot to push it in, and it selects which pickup you want to use. http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/250..._POT_WD250PUSH

                      Here's a Caparison with one.
