I have one from the December batch that shipped. Im actually glad I waited because I dont know if they are all like that, but my frets are absolutely perfect ball ends. Maybe I just lucked out on whoever finished mine.

I also somehow got mine from the first batch,and i beleive as far as i know i got the first one in BC. Thats totally wierd kevin... mine was setup pretty great when i first got it, when i went to school for guitar repair i did a full setup and fret dress on it and it plays soooo damn good now. Still think this is the one of the greatest guitars i have played i think!

I believe mine was from the first batch as well. I purchased mine from Long & McQuade here in Cowtown in early August '07. Haven't had any issues with mine as of yet. It played awesome right out of the box!! Funny story, I go into price one out for my own curiousity, and the guy says, "oh and it looks like we have one too." I was floored. Wasn't spoken for or nothing. So he spends the next 45 minutes going through their mess of a warehouse and finds it still in the box, unopened. We cracked it open and I had to leave with it that day. Defenitly my favourite guitar, and one of the best I've ever played!!

So, now that you guys have had them for a while, I`m curious to know if there is anything you would like to see changed on them?

it played amasing when i first got it, then i got a "tech" to change the strings and set it up and he did a bad job and now i can't seem to get anyone to set it up correctly. you should come visit, drink some beer and set up my guitar!

Unfortunately piezo + trem + 8 string = does not exist yet

Unless you know something I don't in which case spill it

i wish! naw, i'm getting a sick 8 built by mike with everything but a trem on it. and then next time i'll probably go for the same, sans piezo + trem. Possibly fanned fret.

Actually this is very plausible, we should almost set this up for a weekend or something. Learn some 8 string meshuggah or something to jam and just jam our own stuff or something knock back some brews etc... oh yeah and i can set up your guitar too lol

I really do like mine a lot but since you asked
I go back and forth about the EMGs. Sometimes I love them. Sometimes they sound too sloppy to me. I'm running mine at 18v now, which I think is an improvement, however I sacrificed what I liked about the clean sound to get there.

I think the bolt on basswood body construction is probably not best suited to the low notes. It would probably be better at a 28.625" scale, my hands aren't huge, so the reaches on a 30"+ scare me, but it would be nice if it was a smidge larger.

I really can't complain much though. It's a great guitar.

i got a jam spot and a drummer, with a small amount of notice and 15 bucks for the night i think we could use it. Plus all you'd have to bring would be your guitar, i got enough amps to go around.pick a day, this weekend? haha

so i got annoyed and just said "fuck it". I started messing with the bridge and moved stuff around to where it looked better by the eye and it started playing better and ringing out better. So i messed with it some more. It could be better but its worlds better than what it was. go figure.
