Are the necks on the Standard's as delicious as on the Pros?
Yes it is only on the palm muting part of my picking hand. I notice that when I play hard for a long period my hands sweat pretty profusely so when I was in Iraq in the summertime in 140 something degree weather I thought maybe it was just a heat rash but it kept coming back.
The pic isnt very clear and thats also after a couple days healing with no playing. When I play it my skin bubbles up and itches like hell and I scratch and rub it and it gets all red and irritated and the bubbles pop open. Theres a clear liquid that comes out of it and then it scabs.

I get that on my hands, its eczema.
Hmm, its interesting that other people are having issues intonating it as well, I can't seem to get the low B and F# to sound right at all, all the power chords seem to sound off, yet its tuned to pitch on the open and 12th, but then I notice that individually fretted notes are sharp, and on 24 its very sharp yet the harmonic is in tune, but I wasn't going to mention this until I put new strings on it.

Just strung mine up with some strings worth using (9-46 + a 60 for the Low B, and an 80 for the low F#), NOW I'm in love with this thing
Good match, innit?

Harmonics will always be in tune to the open string. It's the fretted notes that need the compensation.
If the fretted note at the 12th fret is sharp compared to the harmonic, it means the fretted note is less than half of the length of the string and the saddle needs to move back away from the nut. If the fretted note is flat, it needs to move closer to the nut.

Tune in, Drop out
when a tune like meshuggah(F in the low string), my fretted note on 12th fret is slightly sharp than my harmonic, but I think I can't move my saddle back, it seems it's all way back. Now I understand why people are always talking about the saddles and the intonation on intrepid!

Could it be behind the nut? Perhaps that 'foam silencer' trick might help.
Yeah, I know, but the fretted note @ 24 is way sharp, ok @ open and 12. It got better @ 24 when I lowered the action, thinking that the effect of pressing down such a thick string was just like bending it up a little.

I tried that. Since it's an open string, I can pluck it with one hand and hold down different parts of the string or hardware with the other hand, and I checked to see if this was the issue (I know it's pretty common actually), and it wasn't. There's something else wrong, so I'll keep looking.
Checked the battery inside to see if thats not rattling around?

Ghost burst pics have been posted at least a few times already. They're on the site, too.

I saw the ones on the Rondo site, but have not seen any of actual guitars. Couldn't find any going back through the thread.

So another mixup to report:
I ordered a single pickup charcoal standard during the pre-orders. Every invoice I had since then said single pickup. When I received delivery today, inside was a dual pickup standard. I must say it was gorgeous. I wanted to keep it, but I already had it reserved for Victor (remorse is for the dead). In fact, he was there when I opened it. It was a nice surprise. So he gets a dual standard for the price of a single standard.
