So, can you use regular strings with this or do you have to buy special ones with balls on both ends?

Nope, you use regular strings! No trickery to this guitar, you simply feed the string till its taut through the locks at the top, and then screw them down (much like you would a locking nut) and then you tune up by turning the pegs on the bridge clockwise. Very easy.

Amazing! I just looked at the guitar and thought, "what a lucky man this is!". Then I looked and saw who it was... you bastard. You get new custom guitars like what, every month? You were rockin the Decibel and the Jackson when I saw your show last.

Finally! I've never had a clear focus on exactly how to tune on these things. I always assumed it was wizardry of some sort ^.^

Love your taste in woods, man!

I want your rug!



But really, dayum. That guitar not only looks amazing, but it seems like it'd be supremely comfortable to play on. :D

Yeah I do have the D5000.
As far as the lens goes, its the shitty stock lens that comes with the kit i think 35-50mm if memory serves.

I'm not a big fan of headless guitars, but the top and that red bridge on this one... Just awesome.
