Man, I use to talk with Nick years ago on here when he was saying he was going to open a "real" shop. Well I tapped out of Metal back then and now I'm back and I went in to the Axe Palace for the first time today. Holy Crap. I think they're still there mopping up my drool. Ima tell you whut.
I'm not going back there unless I got 10g's in my pocket. Going in there and seeing the guitars they have, makes me realize how sub par the cheap sub 1k guitars I have are. I still like them and have fun with them though. And the amps. So many awesome amps, I started shaking looking at them. I WANT ALL OF THEM.
Anyhow, Nick is a super cool dood, met his dad and his tech. All super nice guys and that's the reason they're doing good. Customer service, great attitudes. Going in there made me realize what a different experience it is going to a place like that vs. Guitar Center. Got some el34's as well to try out in my MKV.
I wish I could have spent a little more time in there checking out the stuff and I wanted to try out the Orange DD 50 or 100 too, but forgot in the midst of losing my mind with that "Ima leave here with a new axe high."
The guitar. I'm impressed. Nick said it was nice, no issues and he was right. Almost. I had to fill a small section of binding where it meets the wood. There was a tad of wood missing. But trust me. Nobody but me would ever notice this. I'm insane. Little bit of wood filler and it's perfect. I want over this thing like a drill sergeant inspecting someones bunk and foot locker. Nothing. Thing is mint. It's been a while since I had an IBZ. I had the 7 and 6 string Xiphos. The 7 was awesome, the 6 was a POFS. This thing is great.
The neck is kind of weird to me. I'm use to necks with "stuff" on them. Whether it be paint or oil or something. I can't tell if it's bare wood or satin finish. I feel like ripping it off the doing it with tru oil or tung oil.
Anyhow, here's some crap pics.
