really like the headstock for some reason
obviously fits the model name :D
This is the one thing I am not fond of. I love the wood used on this build and everything else but the head-stock. Saying that, I know how hard it is to come up with something original so people aren't bashing you for being a clone. I't might grow on me though, absolutely beautiful guitar though man, def be proud.:hbang:

The headstock design is definitely polarizing: you either love it or hate it.

I definitely liked the idea of the cutout so the strings "floated" across the empty space. So, in an attempt to not have another copy of the BM headstock, Jarek sent me a few different design ideas and this is what I chose. It works for me :)

I got the new tubes in my power amp last night and the guitar sounds great. It's my first guitar with BKPs and stainless frets. They did a good job with the setup and I didn't feel the need to tweak the neck at all which is great considering the long trip it had from Poland to Seattle. Perhaps the 5 piece construction had something to do with it being so stable.

Normally, I'm a bridge pickup for riffs and neck for leads kind of guy, but I actually spent a bunch of time in the middle position. The Warpigs sound great with the ash body. I also stumbled upon a surprise....the volume knob is push/pull and they wired the pickups to split. We had never discussed that, but I'm glad they did. It makes the guitar even more versatile :D

Same goes for me on the push/pull, I took it to my tech and he pointed it out, and then I felt REALLY DUMB for not noticing. Fuck it, shit happens. :p

It was a total fluke that I pulled up on it. I think I was just checking out the knob and BAM!!!
