Here's a pic I got of it when I collected it (only from a mobile phone so not great quality):

Holy shit! Top looks insane... :scream:

What about pickups? Which model are they?

The bridge seems to be the most comfortable I've ever seen.

Congrats, man.

Cheers,

Bareknuckle + Blackmachine = Balls of brutal British steel.

If theres one thing I'm proud of my country for, its those two companies.

I am very jealous of your guitarz and skillz Bulb :( I look forard to seeing videos and hearing recordings of this beast.

You going to get a B7 eventually then? :yum:

This is fucking amazing Bulber, congratulations. That is the finest Blackmachine I've ever seen. That wood combination and the BKPs must be an an obscene combo! Very cool of Nolly to help out too :yesway:

Hope to see you at NAMM :yesway:

i'm too tired from traveling to really find adjectives and stuff, but this thing looks amazing! congrats so much on the awesome purchase!

it's the nicest B2 i've seen so far! which breed of mahogany is that? and why cold sweat bridge and painkiller neck? not saying it's a crap choise, but it seems to be reversed from what people usually seem to go for. interesting!

btw, if your GF is taking pro pics of it, ask her to get out a stand and do a HDR pic (if she can do that). it's an awesome way to really show 3d figuring and grain patterns that just won't show up on normal pics ;)

Amazing guitar, and I like the way the binding is cut away with the arm contour.

Top drawer these Blackmachines

:bowdown::djent:

This looks f0cking adorable! .. *GAS-MOMETER-EXPLODES*

I'm curious about that odd pickup set anyway.. whats the point about that, maybe a hot neckpup to shred like in "breeze" ?

Long story short:
I WANT SONGS! I WANT VIDEOS! .. (I WANT THAT GUITAR!!!)

This guitar makes me proud to be British.

And also in that recent radio interview where you cited Holdsworth and Govan as your favourite players. :D

Grats on the axe. It's a glorius looking thing. Looking forward to hearing some clips!
