I picked this up a short while ago, had some work done to it and then forgot to post an NGD thread about it! 
So yeah, I scored this Carvin Holdsworth HF2 Fatboy because a couple years back one day I was at Misha's apartment and as we were cycling through the rack-o'-guitars he handed me his ruby red HF2 FB and it blew my mind how amazingly well it played and how great it sounded. Thinking it must have been a fluke I vowed to someday find another one to try and see if it was just his that had the magic, but it appears that maybe it's just the way they build them because this one is several years old but it is just as fantastic!
I kicked it up a notch by having Phil Jacoby (Philtone is the SHIT btw, if you're near Baltimore and need tech work done the dude is amazing, and I've had him PLEK a few guitars too - fretwork is top notch!) jam two 3-way DPDT on/off/on toggles, route for two more pots and a new DiMarzio metal 3-way (like the MM JP models get minus the PCB) so I could wire up a set of Seymour Duncan P-Rails! VERY versatile guitar now, even moreso than it was stock! Enough chit-chat, on to the pics of "The Fat Hawaiian"!

). The neck is a little thicker than my other guitars but it is not uncomfortable. 
No major benefit other than adjusting the strap position but as you can see the stock neck button goes behind the heel of the neck and I moved that to a more standard position so it wouldn't hang awkwardly anymore.
