Thanks for the reply TIBrent...
Another random question; is it just me or is the body size for both 6 and 7 string duality the same?
^Wow that is a nice collection!! Not sure if he owns the FF8 and Duality 6.
Those are Paul's guitars. He has quite the collection for sure!
2 of those aren't his though
... 2) he's unilaterally canceling their orders ...
1) I watched him ship two customers guitars myself just the other day...
The 8FF isn't mine. The others are.
I just don't respect labeling anyone with a dissenting viewpoint a "shill".

I was part of the original "Transcendance" Duality 7 run. I received my guitar a few months ago, and it is spectacular. Figured I owed this thread a NGD.
I own several high end, "boutiqu-ey" sevens (I won't list them, just trust me!) and this is probably my favorite. The build quality is incredible, the fretwork is perfect (coming from someone who has most guitars Plek'd), and I love the pickups. They sounds angry but at the same time clean up well, extremely versatile. My favorite thing about this guitar is the neck profile...I'm not great at describing them objectively, but it just feels perfect to me. If I had to pick something to criticize, I would say the thin nitro finish looks incredible but may not be the most robust finish compared to a usual poly. I play my guitars a lot and leave them out, so we will see how well the thin nitro lasts.
FWIW, Vik was great to deal with. For example, I hit him up at the last minute asking about an upgrade to SS frets. (Keep in mind, this was a fixed spec run). He replied immediately saying, sure, no problem, $50 upcharge...which is very reasonable and a no brainer for me. So I have SS frets on this, and they feel great.
(Edited, as--no offense--I really am not interested in engaging in any online debates. Sorry!)
Some quick pics, sorry not a great photographer.
Now you've actually crossed into shill/sycophant realm.
It's one thing to be somebody to whom Vik's guitars are so important that they can ignore the fact thatTo me, these are merely folks that are as bigoted and/or misogynistic as Vik or are shallow and/or weak enough that they value Vik's guitars more then they value being a decent human being. Much like the folks that continue to shop at Hobby Lobby, etc.
- He has a huge backlog, is accepting new builds, is completing new builds, all while ignoring 1+ year-old builds
- He has made bigoted, anti-LGBT comments
- He has made misogynistic comments
- He has canceled peoples builds and not returned deposits (i.e. STOLE deposits) because the customer made true comments that Vik didn't like
Then there are the folks that want reality to be ignores and/or swept under the rug. Those are the folks that get labeled shill/sycophant.
