Is this the headstock you mentioned? the 1st two on the left

I confess that I hadn't seen this headstock model before, but I couldnt think of a different one for the Kelly design. Even the reversed one I think it looks terrible (I saw Silenoz using one in a dimmu borgir video)

That Silenoz bitch uses his own signature series esp... NOT JACKSON

Looks good! The only criticism I'd have is that it doesn't look like he had a real steady hand when doing the black line painting. But I like the abalone.

Really? Where? I don't see any imperfections at all. are my eyes failing me? :lol:

That looks amazing, except for that TOM. Why didn't you go with a hipshot bridge?

Love the color and the inlays though. Really nice.:yesway:

I finally got to post something recorded by this baby!! This is a song from my current band "Avalon Symphony". It consists pretty much in gothic male+female duet. The electric guitar parts were all recorded with the 7 string. The distortion comes from Guitar Rigg 4. Not many takes, not many guitars, a pretty much simple song.
PS: The song's lyrics are written in portuguese, in case someone finds it strange. As with the Brazillian guys, I hope you like it! It's not really usual to see bands singing in portuguese.

YouTube - Avalon Symphony - Ódio e Rancor ("Hate and Resentment")

This is a pic of me and her, taken for the band:

And a picture of the band:

Whoever likes the band can see other videos in "related".

I'm working on a new song, which I will use the guitar tuned down to A! This will be interesting... eheheheh:evil:

The biggest fault is that TOM bridge. And pickup rings. I hate those.

Stick a flatmout or a hipshot bridge on it and get rid of the pickup rings and that guitar is amazing.

You guys are really fans of that kinda bridge, huh ? Maybe I'll try one at my next guitar. I like TOMs a lot. What I really HATE is Floyd-Rose bridges. Pure fucking shit. I've seen on the internet Les Pauls and PRS's with that piece of shit. If only I could run over the jackass who had such a "Brilliant" idea...:mad:

By the way, what about that schaller hannes bridge? Are those great as they look? :scratch:

Thanks!! The thing it's missing is a graph tech tusq nut. The nut dimensions are absolutely different than any other pre-made nuts, and the only graph tech blank big enough to fit there is a long 63mm slab. Too bad I can't find it anywhere else (like ebay) and it seems that graphtech is getting rich by overpricing shipping costs.

i'm not a TOM fan either. i just love the feel of kahler bridges even in fixed bridge mode. that's what half of my guitars currently have and any future guitars will have, whammy or not.
