dude, that has nothing to do with what we're talking about. i'm sure a "fair few" of us (including myself) just want to know what the purpose of the misaligned ferrules are for and if it IS done intentionally, and the reason for it. i've never played a Blackmachine or seen one in person. i am however curious about them and how they're made (like many other guitars i've never played) |

OK, guys, knock it off already. Some of us think the ferrules look dumb, and some of us don't care. This thread is going to hell, so just agree to disagree and stop cluttering the thread up.

I got an email back from Doug today regarding the ferrules:
"The string ferrules are placed according to the pattern of holes in the bridge". So I went and looked at my bridge, because I thought the bridge holes would surely be in a straight line...Wrong. Blackmachines have Gotoh hardtail bridges, and the actual holes in my bridge are the EXACT same layout as the holes drilled in the back, I don't know why but there you have it. There are a few Blackmachines (Dez has one) that don't use Gotoh bridge, they have a piece of wood with staggered saddles attached directly to it, the ferrule holes also follow this and therefore look even more misaligned on the back. Hope that clears it up

I just saw this for the first time.
Congratulations, it looks incredible.I wish I could have one but if I sold all my guitars and gear I still would not have enough money. |

I told you the craftsmanship was less than steller and that the finish work was not up to par for the price of the instrument but that the playability was as good as you could ever want. There were two price increases after I placed my order so there would be no reason for me to charge less than what the market will bear for an extremely rare instrument. Thats pretty simple economics really.

Man that thing is killer. I saw on the BM website that they were taking six orders so i emailed him back and forth a few times, then i about pulled the trigger and ordered one but just couldnt do it. Man i hope you like that guitar, it is incredible looking.
