Surprised no one is talking about these.

They look killer:

Devin used to post here a good amount, seemed like a good dude always, and now he's in The Acacia Strain.

Those look amazing! The albums they’ve done with him are by my far my favorite Acacia Strain output.

Devin is a killer guitarist, these look sick! I'd never buy one, as I hate X shapes and the like, but they sure do look cool.

Truthfully I haven't followed them super closely in a long, long time, but Waves is fucking great.

Sexy.

lack of pointy headstock and the block inlays are gross.

I love that blue/grey burst.

 

[mikernaut]

Luv that Purple burst finish

The straight ahead photos don't do it justice after watching the youtube videos. What looks like excessive white binding (maybe poor photo editing) in the pictures turns out to be tasteful 5 layer in the closeup pans of the video. I agree that the blue/gray one is sexier.

It's tiny on my phone. Is that a reversed bcr curved headstock?

 

[DeathbyDesign]

The 7 string looks amazing. Love the color and the reverse headstock.

 

[Thep]

Not my cup of tea, but I really hope this pushes Ibanez to consider a new Xiphos line. I've been wanting an extreme shape for a while now and options are slim given the state of Jackson and BC Rich.

 

[Loomer]

oh heck

 

[jephjacques]

daaaaaang

 

[gunshow86de]

gosh

Headstock is not doing it for me, but congrats on him getting a sig.

 

[DevinShidaker]

Thanks for the kind words! I know this isn’t a design for everyone... but for those that like a blend of classic design with modern/“extreme” shapes, these are the instruments for you. Here are a few more shots I took of the guitars, pulled from my Instagram as the original photos were too large to upload here. I miss SS! I need to get back to being more active in this community like I used to. I still lurk though!

That looks awesome! At first, I thought the the site was saying that thebase price was $800. Not the deposit.
