Here are a few details.

This guitar has a quilted maple top, black korina chambered back, korina-flamed maple neck with birdseye maple fretboard. Internal cordless, variax electronics, Fender vintage noiseless pickups and a sustainiac handle the electronics. Planet Waves locking self trimming tuners and magnetic covers just about round this out.

WOAH! That's amazing!!

I think that's the most electronics I've ever seen in a guitar

HammerAndSickle · 11-05-2009, 11:47 AM

ah maaaan

People are coming close to building my customs already...

I'm all about over-the-top with the finishes, hardware, inlays, and electronics. The shape on this one is still a little too out-there for me, but I must say... I wouldn't complain!

If I ever build/mod a guitar it'll have TWICE as many switches as this! Muahaha...

Wow nice guitar. I think he forgot this sticker for the electronics cavity.

hufschmid · 11-05-2009, 11:49 AM

Too fancy and too shiny for my taste but the work is outstanding

I'm just a little disapointed by the stain for the top.... Imagine a black maple stain on that beauty.....

as soon as i saw the cavity i knew it was a variax.

Awesome workmanship.

synrgy · 11-05-2009, 11:52 AM

The body isn't doing it for me (though the back wood does look amazing), but that fretboard sure is purty!

hufschmid · 11-05-2009, 11:52 AM

Looks like he is using magnets to keep the rear covers in place, nice touch

Customisbetter · 11-05-2009, 11:53 AM

^WOW that is an excellent idea!

Why would you want to ruin a gorgeous top like that by staining it black

Everything looks awesome about that guitar except something about the shape just looks off to me... should sound monstrous with that limba and maple though \m/

really?

I'm talking about this black maple stain....

which is 10000 times better then a pink sunburst IMO

caughtinamosh · 11-05-2009, 12:06 PM

There are certain black finishes that can spoil the look of a guitar, though.

hufschmid · 11-05-2009, 12:11 PM

^ in this case, the guitar would have been so much better all natural

I know that it pained Mr. Serman to do it.

The sister billet was actually used on Chris' (

) guitar...

...which was also slathered in black.

vampiregenocide · 11-05-2009, 12:24 PM

Pretty nice, but waaay too many electronics for me, I like things simple.

Its a Kahler designed for multiscale instruments, you can order it from Kahler....

Customisbetter · 11-05-2009, 01:06 PM

Oh... i thought Sherman was making his own custom Kahlers.

No, but that was the first proto Kahler made and he was the first one to use it...

Overt1 · 11-05-2009, 01:40 PM

awesome guitar. but too many electronics for my taste. inlays and fretboard look awesome but for some reason i think it fits a natural colored guitar more

MaKo´s Tethan · 11-05-2009, 01:48 PM

oh my ....in god! the fretboard is art! to put in the living room besides a Rembrant. And the electronics are amazing, but not for me...too many buttons. I`m a 1 knob guy, the gear make the rest.
