It looks beautiful. but I could do without that extra volume knob. When you can adjust the pickup height to affect the volume, why would you need an additional volume knob?

beautiful guitar nonethless!
So could I, I'd actually re-wire it and make it 1 volume and 2 tone :yesway:.

I just love the flamed blue finish really. I didn't pay much attention to the inlays though. The inlays are not my thing though I must say.

My hellraiser's got the same knob layout, and when I anchor my pinky to the bridge pickup - then my pinky gets locked between the knob and the pickup.

how about remove the top two knobs and just have one volume? :hbang:

That sucks. I don't have that exact issue, but I'm so used to turning off the first knob when I'm done playing. But on the hellraiser, its actually the middle knob that controls the bridge pup's volume. When I'm recording, I always forget to turn off the correct knob and get some garbage recorded in the track. Too lazy to re-wire it yet. :lol:

Because I like having my tone knob down a bit-50% for my neck and all the way for the bridge. It would prevent from just having to reach for any but my volume knob :shred:. It's all taste though. I can see why people only want one volume knob.

I love the blue but not crazy about the maple fretboard. Man I hope they make the blue a standard color though. green would be great as well.

I really like the Vampyre Red Satin Blackjack. Don't know what it is about red guitars that just do it for me.

cool. I love the blue... The fretboard is kinda cool but i'd personally prefer an ebony board on it :)

That blue and the Vampyre Red Satin prototype colors are BEAUTIFUL, hopefully shecter mass produces guitars in these colors soon!
