Hey guys, this is my first official NGD on ss.org!
I received my brand new Blackmachine B6 just over a week ago and finally got down to taking some decent pics.
Don't think there is much I can say about Blackmachine Guitars that hasn't been said already. This guitar is absolutely awesome, in every single way. It's light, looks stunning, plays incredibly well and most of all sounds ridiculous. It's a real surreal feeling having such a lightweight guitar sound so huge. It purrs, and it does so with outstanding clarity.
The sustain is just awesome. Every note just sings, and keeps ringing until you tell it to stop! There is absolutely no trouble getting to those high notes, the cutaways are just right. The action is also just perfect (even after shipping).
Specs:
Two piece swamp ash body
Three piece maple neck with dyed maple strips in between
Rosewood board, matching headstock cap and truss rod cover
Dunlop 6100 fret wire
Bareknuckle Nailbomb Chrome covered calibrated set (alnico in the bridge)
Hipshot bridge
Tone and volume knob, three way selector switch
Spertzel locking tuners
Dunlop strap-locks (two at the bottom, one on the horn)
Hiscox hardcase
Will try and get a sound-clip/video up soon!
P.S. - Yes, the low string is tuned the other way round, just me being stupid and looking at my tuner instead of the head stock whilst tuning. Noticed it through the lens as I was taking the pic! (it's not like that anymore
