Hello dear Sevenstring.org members! 
I'm new to this forum and my first post should be a NGD about the best guitar i ever played!
This is the Siggi Braun Custom Shop "Apokalypto" !!
Specsheet:
- Korina Body
- Poplar Burl Top
- Korina/Kambala striped Neck
- Pau Ferro Fretboard
- Low Profile Schaller Floyd Rose
- Bareknuckle Pickups Ceramic Nailbomb
- Schaller Locking Tuners
- Killswitch
- 1 Vol. Push/Pull for Coil Splitting
- CNS-Bolt on System
I picked the guitar up a few days before christmas at Siggi Brauns factory. I walked in and got instantly greeted by all those nice people who work there! Super friendly guys there! Then Siggi told me to follow him and we went to his Showroom..the guitar was presented in its case on a nice table with lighting and all that good stuff damn i was speechless!
I picked it up, plugged it into his ENGL and the first thing that came into my mind was
"HOLY SHIT how can this sound SO huge while being so lightweight?"..damn that was epic! The Neck was perfect (thin C-shape). The Intonation was perfect. The balance of the guitar also! And the Sound blew me away. My hands literally shaked because i was so excited (and i played some custom-shop instruments before, but Siggi's work blows them all out of the water easily!) After that I got the chance to visit his workplace and all of his woods
no CNC or anything.. While i drooled over a Macassar Ebony Top his workmate showed his little kid how to drill and stuff 
So before i post more pics a few more words about the whole process about being his customer (I think some may be interested in that).
The contact to him is perfect. I called him often, because I'm a picky bitch lol, but he always took the time i needed to make it perfect. The same goes for the E-Mail communication! Quick answers and lots of pics! But the major thing is..he is a freaking Racecar! He planned and built this thing SO fast its unbelievable. And you have to consider that this is the first time he did a body shape like this one. Also it was christmas time so there were a lot of builds at that time! But he works 24/7.
That is why I have such respect from this guy and his team. They work all the time. They are always polite and funny and they built their guitars FLAWLESS in such short time!
Summary: Stunning wood collection customers can choose from, Superb customer service, extremely good builds + he can build every shape you have in your head!..but his original designs are top notch also!
Hands down. 11/10
Here are some pics!
