Review - Well what can I say really.... The guitar is amazing. Craftmanship and build quality is top notch - the best I've seen in real life anyways

I'm loving the attention to detail and am yet to find a fault or something that I don't like about the guitar. I'm so glad that the hype on here from guys like Eric and Matt pushed me into taking the plunge. Once I seen this one up for sale I jumped on it!!!

I was considering going for a custom with Dan at some point anyways for an 8 so this was such a great opportunity!

The woods are of great quality obviously, comparing the ebony on my Agile to the ebony on the Oni.... I mean you would think that they are different woods

The Ebony covers are drool worthy and that top.... mmmmmm

I love the way it plays and almost pushes me into some kind of more classy jazz/melodic lines. I almost feel guilty djenting on this thing

Bottom line - MOJO, best guitar I've ever played/looked at in person

Dans work is amazing

Also thanks heaps to Scott who I bought this from..... great to deal with and good bloke too... Poor guy needed to go to the shops and I was just too excited and wanted to talk about gear Great deal bro!

EDIT - Had to delete some pics as I hit the limit!....

The flame is beyond incredible. HNGD!!!!!

 

[Splinterhead]

These are just absolutely amazing guitars! You're a very lucky man, congrats!

 

[petrucci_dude]

Man, I'm so happy you love it

That's one thing I NEVER did with it. Take great photos and make videos as I said I always would. I mean I have some videos somewhere of me recording on it but they're on a phone and all out of sync and what not.

Sorry I had to run last night man, I wanted to keep chatting too but duties called!

Enjoy her man, she's a beaut
Puts out too... like, high output........ 0___o'

Also, I forgot to mention, a bass string on the low E is better for the string ferrules in the back, the 80's I gave you are a bit hard to squeeze in so I actually had to unwind a little bit of the nickel to get them to fit right in. I'm sure you'll figure it out man!

swimingly perfect flame! Love the covers!

 

[Empryrean]

quite literally one of the nicest 8's I've seen, I was pretty sure it'd be another Oni

I love that thing. Just a beautiful piece of work. I'm not generally one to think that wood variety has much influence on tone for electrics, but I've always wanted to try an all maple build. (Nice pics, too!)

Haha, I thought you were the one that snagged it, because Scott said it was a local! At least it was someone on SSO, though.

 

[Thrashmanzac]

Probably the pretiest flamed maple top I've ever seen.
