Here's what's left of Tim's site: Timtone Custom Guitars Gallery Index

He got out of the custom guitar market and focuses on high-end furniture and custom boat interiors.



Todd Keehn, aka TK Instruments: Home

There's a couple of folks on the board that have one or more of Todd's beauties.


But, answer the OP, one of a 7-String Timetone TS-4 in a Merlot stain would be my answer. With a TK back-up of course.

Already own my dream guitar, otherwise I absolutely would have mentioned TK

if I could get a 7 string version of my Trans black SL2H-Mah soloist I don't know if I'd ever play anything else.
if I could get two then I'd also grab a KXK 7.

Djent haters aside, a blackmachine.
They are some of the most majestic creatures I have ever seen...

 

[InfinityAndThree]

LACS, Blackmachine, Vik, Daemoness, Oni, Strandberg... Yup, a typical SS.orger :haha:
Too bad it's not gonna happen for a while...

 

[Bigfan]

Definitely something along this route.

 

[InfinityAndThree]

That second one's not a Blackmachine is it? Who made it?

 

[unclejemima218]

a Vik duality 7 or a Mayones Regius 7! but yeah that'll never happen

 

[theleem]

Gotta go Strandberg. Got to see Tosin's up close a while back, I've wanted one ever since

 

[Masadar]

a Sherman.

I made this mockup of an Ibanez a few years ago. While a few details have changed, this is still cosmetically what my dream guitar would look like:

If we're talking a practical custom designed exactly to my specs, I would get either a Daemoness or a ViK. If I got a Daemoness, it would be in the style of the mockup pictured above, albeit with some extra details (probably no fret dots, a sweet 12th fret inlay and an OFR w/ piezo).

For pure unicorn "look what I've got that you don't," factor, I would want either an Ibanez LACS or a Blackmachine.

*nevermind. I quoted and responded, and after looking at their posts, I don't want to respond to them.*

 

[HOKENSTYFE]

I've been e-mailing Dave from Equilibrium Guitars back & forth, & trying to design an 8. He offered a prototype Masai Ebony 8, which looks amazing! The idea of Gabon Ebony came up. Due to Cameroon shutting it's doors to wood trade, availability is scarce & price of Masai & Gabon ebony is high.

But working on a 29.5 extra long scale, 8-string, fanned fret, DiMarzio 8's. Ebony body & neck. Overcoat, White body & headstock, ebony neck oiled. Working things out, for maybe later this year.

This would be a dream custom!

Definitely something along this route.

Yeah, I would get myself in so much freaking trouble to own one of these. I really want to know the direction Doug is going to take Blackmachine in the future. I'd of course buy a killer 'production' model if that ever comes to fruition, but I'd have to keep a piggy bank aside for one of his entirely handmade instruments, new or used. Probably the only make I would spend an absurd amount of coin on.

If i had to actually spec out a custom ibanez though itd probably be as close to my rga prestiges as possible.

rga
mahogany
probably white unless i got some crazy top wood
6 strings
dimarzios yeah it wouldnt be too fancy but it would be amazing haha

 

[tommychains]

i'd have to go with a custom shop ibanez 8 string fireman. I'm actually in the process of building it with...get this




Double horns!!!!
