Haha yeah man, Ron knocked it out of the park on that one! He said he gave it a test run through his offset and the thing has a ton of (and I quote) "Oooomph"! I was curious how close she'll come tonally to Artisan Standard 180 since aside from the koa top/back and Brazzy board the two should be identical (if I'm lucky!) which would be amazing because that's still to date the best-sounding hum-equipped guitar I own!

The koa sammich has left SoCal! Shouldn't be long now!

That's the funniest shit I've seen all day!

Yeaaaaah, bet he doesn't want that information floating around out there... He took that LACS that I owned previously and bought it for like $1200 or something and IMMEDIATELY listed it on eBay for $3K. Scruples... he has none.

I just love the flipping attempts he pulls on here, picks something up crazy cheap from either eBay or another forum and IMMEDIATELY throws it up for sale on here at 2-5x the price he just paid. Some people are obviously on to him, hence the slowdown in his sales, but it seems like as time goes on more and more people are seeing what a "great guy" he is to deal with...

Something funny I just found out today after looking up the completed auction for that RG Gold you pointed out was the same one engage bought using a little trick I picked up... he had it listed for $5500 on here... turns out his best offer is visible if you change the ".com" to ".ca" in the eBay URL! Guess how much he ACTUALLY paid? $2000 + $200 for shipping.

$2200 =/= $5500. Hilarious. But seriously... not a shady seller... at... all... riiiiight.

Are there any left handed players who would love a Blackmachine B6?
There is one in the pipeline - it'll be a while before it's anywhere near finished, but it'd be nice to know who would enjoy it.

Fair enough :p

Right on, it sounds like mine will be done this week and likely the same deal, waiting to ship until the following Monday to have it spend as little time sitting in a warehouse as possible! Stoked for both of our NGD's, that faded cherry finish is DAMN sexy, and I only saw my koa top and back when it was sealed which was before he shot the caramel burst on top so I'm excited as hell to see it in person with the completed finish finally!

P.S. Did your faded cherryburst DeLuxe ship out yet? I want more pics!

Thorn. Hollowbody. DeLuxe. Yep, working on making it a reality, and Ron is simultaneously working on making me the the poorest member of SS.org! Maybe I can live in a teepee using the guitars as the support posts... I wouldn't even need this overrated house I own!
