    [DREAM NGD] All-aluminium 7 String EGC! Baritone!

    There's plenty of content, just in very specific places. "Aluminium Axes" group on Facebook is a good home for it all; lots of players and coming up to a dozen different builders post stuff in there. Exciting stuff coming from Developing Nations, Robot Graves, Baguley, Obstructures and Aluminati...

    [DREAM NGD] All-aluminium 7 String EGC! Baritone!

    Hi SSO. Long time no post, but it's a good one. Head below and skip to 11:51 if you only want to hear how it sounds and don't care what I have to say about it / have no interest in how it is made. This instrument has a long and painful story, but now it will go with me into the tomb. I've...

    NGD: Custom Mayones Regius

    I hate you so much for precisely one reason: Hannes :( I ended up with an ABM on mine (October delivery) because of apparent production difficulties, but seeing this makes me upset that I came so close :(

    NGD: Mayonnaise is a truly delicious condiment. Now with cheeky vids!

    Depends which light you look at mine in and how much post processing you give it :P. That Carvin most certainly isn't raw iPhone-shot. For instance if I give it even the tiniest tweak to levels (and I mean tiny) I get this: ... and that's generally how it looks in the flesh. Tooootally...

    NGD: Mayonnaise is a truly delicious condiment. Now with cheeky vids!

    Yeah, admittedly I can't even tell it's under my hand. I was taking a gamble on the Hannes too; I've been told it's notoriously bright thanks to each string and saddle being mechanically separate from the others. This guitar has PLENTY of arse so far, even with the minimal arse levels of the...

    Another quick one going through the switch settings before heading off to the grindstone:

    NGD: Mayonnaise is a truly delicious condiment. Now with cheeky vids!

    They're actually the same company: Ubersonic in Aspendendale VIC. The Mayones AU site is administrated by them, just a separate domain. Initially I was told they couldn't do it because they CNC all their necks in batches, but I emailed Artur pretty early on asking if it was possible and for...

    NGD: Mayonnaise is a truly delicious condiment. Now with cheeky vids!

    Why's that? Personally I'm not a huge fan of eye-popping grain, so I don't much like quilt or highly figured flame tops. I've seen good ones, sure, but I like it when there's *just enough* figure to get the point across. Good contrast. I guess the only thing I'm disappointed about is that I...

    NGD: Mayonnaise is a truly delicious condiment. Now with cheeky vids!

    I started emailing the Australian distributor around March/April, and I was quoted 12-16 weeks. My birthday is in August so I'd initially hoped to have it by then. Unfortunately it ended up taking much longer, as is the case with all things custom I suppose.

    NGD: Mayonnaise is a truly delicious condiment. Now with cheeky vids!

    You and me both. It would have been perfect; both in aesthetics and playability. Alas it was not to be. Curious exactly what stopped them from putting it on there, but I guess that's for Schaller to know.

    Making my manager upset because I couldn't resist. I'll do something less bollocks later on at home.

    NGD: Mayonnaise is a truly delicious condiment. Now with cheeky vids!

    Preface: I've spent a long time lurking, so I hope this makes up for it :P I've have an itch ever since I discovered Pain Of Salvation and Daniel's Element series a few years ago. Now that I've got sustainable, long term employment I figured it was time to finally scratch it. I'll try to...

    Schaller Hannes 7 & 8 String bridges released

    I'm in the process of locking in a custom order for a Regius 7, and given that Mayones announced it themselves I've obviously asked the question. First indications are that they'll be good to go from now on custom guitars, but I'll let you guys know what the final outcome is. I'm expecting an...

    Strandberg Copy Run [crazy cheap & awesome luthier!]

    Man, so much want. Enough to pull a man out of a 3 year lurk. Seems like I missed the wave on these though :( Also i'm in the antipodes. Shit. :wallbash:

    2HB, 3way, Vol, Tone, Master coil split + 'suhr blower', what am I doing wrong?

    Okay so I'm attempting to wire up my Agile with some 4-conductor passives (old DiMarzios I had kicking around if you must know), but I want to introduce a master coil split (i.e. one knob splits both pickups) and a Suhr-style "blower" switch (i.e. bridge pickup -> output jack). My issue is...
