Hah, don't tempt me dude! I'll just have an offset blocks all the way up I think.

Reckon I should go with abalone or pearl?

I like Abalone....will sit nicely with the maple :)

(Also....yes.....this has convinced me I need to save my pennies for a while to get one myself...)

Excuse the quick MsPaint job:

I like it, but it might just look like a peace sign from afar.

Hah, slick work dude but if I were to have the HL logo it would have to be big and vertically central.
Is there any chance you could remove the ESP logo from the original and add in an offset block at the 12th fret instead? Can't seem to find any pictures of guitars with offset blocks the whole way up..

As for the pearl vs. abalone thing, I'm leaning towards abalone at the moment but keep the thoughts coming!

Yeah, if you make the lambda logo big and centered it might look a bit...off.:lol:

Anyway, here's this:

Sick, thanks brü! I dig that a lot, the board still looks almost entirely blank, but I'll be able to use it for teaching. Lovely stuff.

Oh, and Davey, that's awesome! Not sure if you've seen, but Dylans's put up pics of a couple of new guitars under the gallery section of the website.

Sorry, iPhone autocorrection FTL. :lol:

Yeah, you're right... subtlety is key here. The offset markers is a nice touch, BTW.

What if you had the HL logo inlaid on the back of the headstock? It'd be a nice touch, I think.:agreed:

Oh wow, ESP side dots are awesome :yesway: I'd go with pearl, and the HL logo inlaid in grey with an orange outline or something on the back of the headstock would look so *hot* and unique! :yesway:

Yeah, I will definitely be asking Dylan about that tomorrow, though I'm thinking just in black.

So, Nolly, you might've answered this already but what'll happen to this guitar now that you got endorsed by BRJ? Will it just be a studio guitar, or something?

Oh I'm sure I can find some uses for it. For one, I'll still need a backup 7 :)

Yeah, they make a great pair! It's neat how the headstocks mirror each other.
