I FINALLY got around to taking a couple crappy iphone vids of the guitar. Kyle McKnight (formerly of Threat Signal) was over the other day and I put it in his hands to fool around with and we plugged it into his axe-fx and it was awesome. Anyways, here it is.

For your first build this is insane. I would love to do something like this.

I wish the spalt went all the way over the top instead of that black part on the corner... Still deadly tho.

Keep it up man

This is fucking unreal.

what the FUCK do you do for your day job?
NEVER MIND. QUIT IT.

NOW.

It would be something to consider though, starting to custom-make guitars for sale... If you can do work like this, I'm sure you'd have people lined up to get something this nasty!!!

My eyes were in no way prepared to view such awesomeness this morning. I feel they have ruptured some vital organ in my brain.

I agree with this... I was in no way, shape or form expecting anything like this... This is yet onother one of those that should go for GOTM, along with the UV88MC build that's underway. Both of these are the most EPIC thing EVER!!!:metal::hbang::shred::agreed:

Can I see? :D

In reference to seeing Marten's Destroyer 8-string, yes. I'd like to see that as well... But I have a good feeling that this will blow it out of the water...

^Pretty much what I did after seeing this beast... :lol:

Nice cat, weird dogs, badass Starwars bedsheet!

Btw. Your a fucking great luthier! :D

Agreed to both... I wish I was half as talented, had the cash for the wood and the tools and had the place to do that... This automatically will trump anything I could ever do. Very nice work man, nice axe to show for it. Everything about it is perfect. Congrats and good luck with it!

Oh, and I think this would be the best thing to describe this guitar:
:minions::agreed:

It is really really really big. But it sounds like it too, so it's okay
I really can't dig the size of a regular Explorer. I love the shape but it just feels kinda dinky in my hands.
I'd love to try an Explorer that size though.
If you do open up shop as a luthier, you'll definitely be getting some work from here.

That guitar is... stunning to say the least. Sorry if I sound underwhelmed, I'm just... speechless from looking at something that awesome.

Incredible woodworking skills man!

That was indeed the best first guitar anyone has ever built, it's gorgeous! But seeing that case, I'm glad you didn't try to stain the axe, gosh that's awful:ugh:

This surely looks nice! I'll join in on the "amazing build" choir...I cannot help wonder about that black tip though...it's the only thing that kinda sets me off. Any purpose, other than visual?...With some imagination (and some laming) it makes it look like Pikachu? ;)
Good call on the case on wheels mate!

Sick build, but what is that headstock? I keep seeing it and I'm curious. Looks awesome.
