Fred the Shred
Shrederick
My friend Felix (got_tone around here), knew I was most curious about the guitars Vik makes, so he kindly lent me one of his own to fiddle with, for which I'm most thankful.
First off, the sheer beauty of this thing is something I can simply state that no pics will do justice to.
This axe is fitted with Vik's own pickups, with wooden covers, and they sound quite natural and warm. The action was too low for me (think "strings glued to fretboard"
), and after a setup, she started singing beautifully, and has immense sustain. Note separation is, as expected on a fan fret, great and the birdseye maple board works great in terms of giving the guitar some very welcome snap to the attack.
Without further ado, here are some pics:
And here's a vid with her and my Blackmachine B7 in tandem, as I really felt this one complemented her just great:
I hope you guys enjoy!![Wavey :wavey: :wavey:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wavey.gif)
