Fucking ba; I dig the minimalist approach. The shape of the headstock is cool as well (looks like a hellraiser). How longs the build time on that?

r3tex · 07-22-2007, 10:45 AM

It'll take about 2 months

cyanidescarp · 07-22-2007, 12:06 PM

how much $$?

Louseman · 07-22-2007, 04:48 PM

Nice.

Nem · 07-22-2007, 07:23 PM

Good head choice

Only two months?!

r3tex · 07-23-2007, 01:55 PM

Total the cost will be $2400

ka-ching!!!
It was mainly the wood that made it cost more, I suppose I could have chosen mahogany and maple or whatever, and made it for under $2000, but now I'll have my dream machine.

I'm sure the guitar will sound mean, I just can't figure out how bulb gets such a mean drum mix. It's so damn tight and compressed =/ makes me jealous. Can't you upload a cubase file with the drum-settings?
