That spalted top must've been one hell of a rotten maple tree at some point, because it looks fantastic! Love it!

How many guitars do you need?!?!?!

All of them.

 

[Spence]

Do you have an endorsment deal with dimarzio now?

How many guitars do you need?!?!?!

The only true answer to this question is, "One more than i already have."

:O I can't wait to hear how that sounds. I sent in a quote form for one almost exactly like that but with the double pointed headstock and aftermath 7's, 24 fret 27 inch scale about a week ago and I'm still waiting to hear back from Bernie.

Ain't that the damn truth haha? I definitely will be getting another decibel considering that its one of the best sounding, feeling and looking 7s I have ever played.
I have a strandberg 7 on the way too and this obviously won be my last rico.
What can I say, I'm fortunate enough to have this be my job and these are the tools of my trade, and they are all investments that hold or sometimes appreciate in value as well. I could be spending my money in much worse ways haha!


As far as dimarzio goes I have been endorsed and working with them for a little bit now as I'm a HUGE fan of the crunchlab and liquifire, the blaze custom and the original petrucci customs, and Steve and I are working on custom sets for me at the moment. This guitar will serve as one of a few excellent testbeds!

Congrats on the dimarzio customs and im sure that rico will be an absolute beast...any chance those custom pickups will be available commercially?

Honestly they probably wont, im not a very big name in the general guitar community, it would have make sense as a business decision on their end to build and promo those pickups.
Whereas here its just Steve and I prototyping to design something perfect for me, and its a fun challenge for him, and im perfectly happy with that haha!

Bulb, I will find where you live and steal that sex on Wood.
