Fairlight... O hai:

I'm already ill and you're trying to kill me !

This is the most beautiful finish i've ever seen

Man, i'm speechless and that's hard 'cuz i'm a talking machine, you guys are really talented, i can't wait to put my hands on that piece of art

That white stained DoubleKat 7 on the last page is amazing.

Yes, she is

How wide are the nuts on these things? Do you use standard widths or is it up to the customer?

 

[BlacKat Guitars]

Nut widths are (as far as I remember) 43 mm on 6 string, 49 in 7 and 56 on 8. Neck specs are not customizable.

While we're at posting green stuff. Although our first ever guitars had similar finish, it took a year to have an order with two colored ash body again. Six strings, bridge humbucker only, I already dig this guitar, only thing missing is non recessed ofr I guess

Seeing these builds in progress is making me want these next 7 months to go by quick. 7 long months until I can afford to drop an order for a Leon D8...

 

[BlacKat Guitars]

These builds in progress?

 

[Curt]

GAS Overload!

Now I'm starting to think after the Leon D8, I should go for a Ninja Zebra Singlekat 6 in purple.

 

[FAiRLiGHT]

Tom, do you have any news about my zebra ?

 

[BlacKat Guitars]

As far as I know (situation is changing all the time body is ready, neck requires some work. We'll likely ship it to France next week.

 

[FAiRLiGHT]

Awesome !

 

[Gitte]

That blue One looks freaking pretty!!

 

[BlacKat Guitars]

Duh, broken... missing string
