i got to about page 33 then i had to quit for today. all those guitars are giving me a headache.... 
Whoever had the idea to go on stage and bring the highlighted dean with em, its been done..... sadly.
This guy played it at the stairway to stardom show last year (not in my band, and i doubt any of you know what that is...)

*Waits for all the BM fanboys to come out of the wood work and anonymously neg rep, and not get it.*
Though, for cereal, I was never a huge fan of the BM stuff. The fanned ones look great, but the 6s don't do much for me. Not knocking on them, I bet they're breathtaking in person.

Strange bridge choice for a high end instrument IMO
Looks like this one here
Fixed Bridge - 7 String - Fixed Bridges by GPDUSA.COM

Why?
Perhaps simplicity is the goal.
Though, for the record, that bridge is of far better quality than that brand-less GDP one.

i agree.
i never understood the obsession either. I mean they probably sound great and im sure they are built well but...again. i never got the hype. probably because of how difficult they are to obtain.
to each their own
just my two cents.
Make a simple/bland/unattractive guitar..overprice it..place it in select hands and make those who want them wait a long time to actually get one..instant "must have" when for a couple hundred you could have the same thing, if not better a dime a dozen.

Because its a cheap gotoh bridge, fender style...
Even the ones you see on Agile are of way better quality, personaly I think that he could of at least put a high quality hipshot bridge on such a guitar, at least for the price
I dont see whats wrong with BK prices, some factory made custom shop jacksons, PRS, esp and the list goes on and on are actually like 2 to 3 times more expensive and they are not even handmade...
BM prices are very good and are based on the expenses that an individual person (in this case Doug) must face in order to make a living and eat.
Just an exemple, read this article which I discovered last day :
http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/lu...ons/113913-why-guitars-cost-what-they-do.html
Dont forget, Doug of blackmachine is not doing this as a hobby, he does not have another job, he is a full time luthier...
which is not the case of mister Darren who is starting this prodject as a very important side prodject but already has an income which helps him make a living and eat properly + Darren lives in canada, not in UK, the living expenses are way different when comparing both countries.......

Unattractive and bland to you maybe, but I'd still want the BM design if it were a korean equivalent.

They might be very simple bridges, but they are certainly not low quality.
Have you actually held both an Agile and a Blackmachine in your hands to make this conclusion?
What makes the Agile bridge better?

For a stock gotoh bridge you can find one on any non tremolo fender squier if you wish, just add a saddle
And yes I have also played on an Agile and yes I have played on a blackmachine one day at Musikmesse Frankfurt and I love those guitars...
Here I'm talking about the looks, I would hate to have a stock fender squier bridge on a high end instrument. Just like you would hate to have traditional fender style tuning machines on a high end Ibanez univers swirl....

I agree that the hardware looks very pedestrian, but having held Gotoh and Hipshot hardware in my hand, and used them to retrofit stock guitars, I can tell you they're miles ahead in quality of machining and materials than the cheap, cast/bent pieces of pot metal used on Squires, as well as the milled and coated Agile bridges, which are in fact copies of Hipshot units.
As for Fender style machines on a UV, I don't see the connection. The tuners on a USA Strat are very similar in both function and quality to that of the Gotoh made ones on one of my UV's.
