Members lz4005 Posted April 24, 2013 Members Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hot in every way except the pickup switch placement. Would be far out of the way for how I play.Love the straight string pull design of the head stock. I'm sort of obsessed with straight string pull.

Members PurpleTrails Posted April 24, 2013 Members Share Posted April 24, 2013 Looks like a little bit of heaven, though the pickup switch is in an awkward spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlamoJoe Posted April 24, 2013 Members Share Posted April 24, 2013 Beautiful bit of work...Switch placement is intriguing...Guess I'd have to play it a bit to make judgment on that particular quirk.Might end up liking it if the guitar plays as pretty as it looks.

Members FrankenSteinberger Posted April 24, 2013 Members Share Posted April 24, 2013 It's beautiful, but the bridge is--considering the availability of other hardware--a bit boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
