Another custom 8 string, with pics

Hey guys, I wanted to start a thread to list pictures and info on the 8 string I'm building for Tosin Abasi of Reflux. This guitar was started before I built bulb's 8 string, but I just got around to getting this one out the door. Should be complete by May.

Here's the rundown
30" scale
1 pc Swamp Ash body
flame claro walnut top with black maple veneer
7 piece wenge / bloodwood / black maple veneer / flame maple neck
acrylized birdseye maple fingerboard
ebony headcap
q Tuner bl5 (neck) and lundgren M8 (bridge) electronix
hipshot strings-through bridge
sperzel locking tuners
black corian nut
neutrik locking 1/4" output jack
oil finish

Gotta' say I like Bulb's design much better than this, but the workmanship still looks top notch

fathead is a jewel in the rough
Those stripes on the neck make it look like a snake. Very nice.

You've got your head down
You've got your eyes closed
You look so pitiful now

Your body encrusted with ash
Breath heavy with toxins
Hair singed and matted
Clothes frayed and burnt

You are left with nothing

That is pretty nice, I like the woods. Wild body shape too. Nice job so far, beautiful looking 8-string.

Ive heard Tosin say a lot about this guitar and it looks really cool. Im thinking about Q tuners for the two humbuckers in my SRC 7. Could you tell me how they work as far as connections? It seems like they dont have any cable.

All your shred are belong to us.

They do, two solid wires. It can be wired in pretty easily!

I didn't like the design at first, and since I let my clients design pretty much anything they want, I eventually have to make guitars I don't agree with.. but the more I see it I really like it. I'm sure Tosin will love it and that's all that matters in the end I guess! Thanks for the comments!

So I guess it just has a hot and a ground? Are they wires that come off the cable stock or do you have to solder them to tabs on the pickup. I just dont see any leads coming off on their website or in the photo. I think Ill probably go with black though now that I see one with real photography.
