There has indeed.. a comparable guitar is ~$1,000 more now

daybean · 04-23-2008, 03:26 PM

those guitars are awsome, love the all wood finish, great guitar and pics. im to poor to have one at the moment, even if i had the chance theres a waiting peiod, on their site, i saw that they were taking only six orders for 2009.

Yeah that's a problem, he gets backlogged quite easily (as evident from the time I had to wait for mine) so I think he's really limited the orders this time to try and prevent it happening as much in future (and allow him enough time top build ones for guitar shows etc.)

wannabguitarist · 04-23-2008, 04:17 PM

I want one of those so bad I just can't see myself owning a guitar that costs that much (or any music related equipment that's worth more than my car

)

When did he start using Mahogany? I thought he always used swamp ash

Yeah a lot of people don't, they certainly divide opinion. It was one of the main selling points of Blackmachine for me!

TomAwesome · 04-23-2008, 06:08 PM

Absolutely gorgeous!

Randomist · 04-23-2008, 06:16 PM

really sorry to say it, but on looks alone, i don't like that guitar, I like the headstock and the general shape, its just the little (well I'm going from the pics here, so some of what i see may be due to those...) flaws, like the binding looks patchy, and not just on the arm contour that looks so steep its pointless, and the finish looks .... well you've pointed it out yourself that that isn't fantastic...
i hope it comes good for you, and i'll assume that it plays well from the way people on here worship these things...
In the end though, its your guitar, if you like it, then I'm pleased for you

Call it is for what it is - a flaw. That being said, it still looks awesome - i bet it rips with those BK's in there.....

auxioluck · 04-23-2008, 06:49 PM

That is a guitar worth every penny and every second. Congrats man, i still have not acquired enough funds for one of these. But I will. That is an axe worthy of commendation. Congratulations!

Hey! Just seen you're in Leeds, cool buddy, where abouts do you live? I live in Headingley and go to Leeds College of Music

There's few guitars that divide opinion as much as Blackmachine, which is absolutely fair enough. What I would say though, is that the binding is very well done especially for a handbuilt guitar...It's probably just be my shoddy photos.

The whole package is extremely well crafted and finished, and i'm honestly hyper-critical when it comes to guitars. The contour deffo serves a purpose, it just blunts the edge that would otherwise be a tad uncomfortable i imagine (like resting your arm on a knife blade). In terms of the finish it is stunning (it's just a sheet of ebony wood really), my gripe that you mentioned though was that either the oil was not applied evenly, or that i just need to let it soakin/settle down (this guitar is literally a few days old, the strings etc. haven't even had time to settle yet)...i'll see in a few days in that case

This is the 9th guitar (6th high-end) that i've owned and the playability and sound destroys the others, which is the most important thing for me. The fact that it looks killer in my opinion is a nice bonus aswell though!

If you're local then you should come round for a jam and take it for a spin matey

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

MerlinTKD · 04-23-2008, 10:07 PM

That is not a guitar.

That is a work of art.

A fucking amazing work of art!!

A question: that neck looks especially wide... how wide is it, exactly?
