Sorry,I guess this could be considered a double post.I just wanted to show off my ax-o-doom with some better pics.ENJOY!

That's sharp. Did you spec it out yourself?

Saw your GC post. That sucks. I remember buying stuff at the GC in Atlanta, and they kept all of the trem arms up front in a drawer. Half the time they could never find the right trem arm for the guitar I was buying. Ugh!

You have good taste sir. How does Jackson's Maple Board compare to their Ebony? I've always wanted a CS soloist with a maple board! That is a beautiful guitar! What kind of wood did you use and what kind of pups? I'm diggin the direct mount. approximately how much did it cost?

[BallooTheBear]

Seymour Duncan George Lynch in the bridge and a Hot Rail at the neck.I paid $2000 but the guy that had it built paid $5800.

$2000 is a good deal, but $5800 is pure BS on his part. Either he is totally stupid, or lying. $5800 was probably the MSRP of it, but not what he really paid. People are so full of BS. either way, $2000 was a good price for you to pay for it though. Great guitar and great deal.

Yeah they told me at Sam Ash some kid traded in a black SL1 (ooh, rare!) and said that it cost $2600 or something.

When people buy used and aren't selling they get Custom Shop guitars for $1200, and when they're selling they "paid over $5899 new."

Yes, but then the guitars are usually made of 150YO trees or something...

Nice guitar!
And agreed on the simple electronics layout. I'm a fan of that.

That's fuckin sick, man. Nice score.

I like the fact that the control cavity is so big,There will be plenty of room to mount the battery hold down inside when I put a Blackout pup in the bridge position.
Also the volume control will be changed to an on/off toggle.

Although I wish the guy who had it built would have put a three position toggle in instead of the three way blade switch,I hate the look of those.

Awesome soloist. Love it.

[RyTard]

I should have known it was a Screamin Deamon in the bridge (allen heads). 2g??? I would have easily paid $2,900.00 for that dream axe. Good buy on this one! IMO the recessed floyd puts my wrist in a more relaxed position and concetrates the integrity of the strings vibes closer to the wood and brings out more character in a guitar. Congrats on the score! If it only had a Scalloped Heel and Horn I would totally try to snag that beauty from you with every cent I've got lol!
