Thinking about new pickups, but I think I will wait until more vendors get competitive with 8 string pups. I like selection. I was going to stain the fretboard, but I seriously think I have gotten one of the darkest cuts of rosewood I have ever seen in my life with this guitar. When it isn't in direct light, it looks like ebony. I also may round off the edges on the body, seeing as it weighs about 40 fucking pounds anyway. Oh, and pearl binding. But I may have to faux-bind it. We will see. I have to plan.

Thank you all for your congrats, and I will say this: If the money and the wait scare you, forget it. Get this guitar. Ibanez pulled a major winner with this. This is the first guitar that has destroyed my cynicism. Unreal.

Yes, but can you tune it down to D and still have it articulate?

I'm sure with a thicker string...maybe an 80. You could get a nice double drop D tuning. Hmmm....I may have to try that tonight.

The wombs of claws call me
Filth rips them open
the stillborn start to move
lidless eyes
twitching beneath a sheet of rot
they reach out they want to kiss
it matters not

Dreams it speaks to me of the truth that means reality
