Weird no string wrap on the tuning peg

I still think that's purple snakeskin finish, right?
Also, I noticed the no string wrap, I thought that was just the angle of the pictures.
Damn he be hardcore.

Fucking 10/52 + 70, so hard to play on I bet...

Weird no string wrap on the tuning peg
He's got the planet waves locking tuners on his guitar. They don't need a string wrap. You just pull them through, lock them and then as you begin to turn the tuners they automatically clip the extra string off for you. I have them on a few of my guitars including my 7321. They are killer. Very responsive and easy to change.
Yup, it's the locking tuners... you turn a thumb screw and it locks the string into the hole in the tuner.
As for the finish, it's a quilted maple top with trans black stain. Under bright light (like a camera flash) it looks the way it does in the pictures.
I play 10-56+68... nothing hard about it, it's all what you're used to / prefer.
Oh and one more time... my god that guitar is HOT

Thanks again everyone,
this guitar is more then I could have hoped for (which kind of sucks because I'm playing the crap out of it Aaahha). To answer a few questions I have seen:
about the original pickups that were installed: the Evolution, I didn't like that much, but the Air norton is a good sounding neck pickup. The only thing about Dimarzio pickups that I hate is that they claim to faithfully reproduce the 6 string equivalents, yet they use cheaper materials for the 7's (something like a circuit board base plate not exactly sure but WTF).
I quit using Coolpicks because they were so hard and expensive to get. So I have been using 1.35 sharpies thanks to Jeff who turned me on to them.
Yes those are planet waves tuners and they are very good and convenient (they even slice through the 70 gauge).
This guitar stays in tune as well as any guitar I have played, the reason I haven't had the bar in during live performances is everyone was F*%#ing with me for wearing my guitar like a necklace so I lowered it to try to be the cool kid (didn't work), but that meant large stretches were a pain, so I would put my guitar on my knee (like in the Enemies of reality diminished run). What would happen is the bar would swing down and lodge between my leg and guitar and I would create the best dying cat sound you have ever heard. I would recommend a graphite nut to anyone with a trem, you just have to make sure it's cut right for it.
Take care, Chris.

Man, don't give into peer pressure. Wear that guitar high and proud. The higher you wear it the prouder you should be.

Ahahaha,
well I'm not usually one to give in but I figured I would try it to see if I could get used to it. So far it's a big no.
Chris.
YES now I can add Chris Broderick to my "famous people I've made laugh" list. It's Chris, Frank Robinson, and that girl that played Tawny on Even Stevens

Aren't they using the circuit board baseplate thing on all their pickups now? I could have swore they switched over entirely.
my new X2N has a metal baseplate, it looks cheap as hell but it's metal.
