Thanks for the great feedback! ... except that vendetta guy! hehe @ohio eric - I don't have any more pics because I don't actually have the guitar yet. They just finished building it and doing a photo shoot and Mike was kind enough to send me a pic so I thought I'd share it. I'll gladly add more pics once it's in my possession.
$4600 for a 7 string. I did get a nice discount however.
It's a real shame their prices went up so much. I paid much less for my current Conklin and it had all kinds of extra options but I couldn't see myself getting anything else now. Well except perhaps a Blackmachine but I definitely can't afford one of those and I don't have the ability to try one out beforehand.
