-Cocobolo and wenge neck.
-Two tone Katalox.
-Black limba body.
-27-25 scale lenght
-Custom pickups
-Sperzel locking tuners

Enjoy!

Sick lookin guitar, that top is a trip to look at. o_o

Dg87 · 11-22-2011, 06:33 PM

Yeah, it's nice with the pickups covers too, it makes the pickups looks invisible.

crg123 · 11-22-2011, 06:50 PM

Wow that's beautiful. Video please

craigny · 11-22-2011, 06:54 PM

WOW that is WILD!!! love the contrast of woods on the fretboard..is it the same type of wood in different shades or two different kinds?

Those matching pickup covers are too cool for school.

SYLrules88 · 11-22-2011, 07:35 PM

really gorgeous man!! took me a minute to spot the knobs haha

Dg87 · 11-22-2011, 08:14 PM

The fretboard is actually one piece of two tone curly katalox. Thanks for the comments guys!

scherzo1928 · 11-22-2011, 11:39 PM

Being a huge fan of katalox, I aprove of this.

Oh, yeah. The rest of the guitar is pretty damn awesome as well.

ivancic1al · 11-23-2011, 12:17 AM

Wow I really love the matching wooden pickup covers/knob tops/trussrod cover.

That really makes it that much sexier, congrats man!

vansinn · 11-23-2011, 03:40 AM

Yum yum, that one is a sure eyecatcher

Not often we see cocobolo used in necks; I've never played one, and wonder what tone/sustain is like with that combination..
Who made the custom pups? and what are they tonally balanced for?
Soundclips, please!

ShadowFactoryX · 11-23-2011, 07:42 AM

you had me at cocobolo...

i'd put that in a case, mount it on a wall and never play it
its extravagant

ThePhilosopher · 11-23-2011, 08:16 AM

That sure is an eye catcher; I too am curious about the cocobolo neck.

DoomJazz · 11-23-2011, 09:09 AM

Dg87 · 11-24-2011, 12:15 PM

I havent receive it yet, but He made the pickups himself, i play from technical metal to jazz so i asked him to made them in that perspective. He also says they split very very well!!! No need to tell you guys how impatient i am to put my hand on this thing for the first time!
