Det är svårt att inte gilla gitarrer, eller hur? Hade jag tillräckligt med pengar hade jag nog beställt ett par tre till =)

But there may be a mistake here. I ordered a reverse Jackson headstock, so unless the last pic is mirrored...

I'll keep this headstock. It looks good and Michael told me that it was made from "especially
premium maple", so it would be a shame to not use it :)

SPEC UPDATE: substitute Chernishev custom hand-wound pickups for DiMarzios

description - "like passive versions of the actives I normally use (EMG 60 for neck and EMG 81 in bridge), but with a few alterations. First of all, I would like them to have what I like to call the DiMarzio "sound". I don't know how to describe it, but DiMarzio pickups have a sound signature that is very pleasing to my ears.

Second, I want them to sound good when the coils are split. Since I will be having a few split modes, they wouldn't be of any use if the pickups don't sound good when split.

I want them to be wax potted also."

Aleksandr,

Is that idea about springholders in neck wood your idea or is it taken from somewhere? It seems like an good idea!

Direct mount pickups (i.e. no pickups bezel) are nothing new, Eddie Van Halen started direct-mounting his pickups in the early eighties I think. Guitars with extended neck tenons and pickups mounted directly to the neck are quite new and being offered by some builders, but often at rediculous prices.

It is not easy to make something new in guitarbuilding. Yamaha made it for Frank Gambale - http://www.yamaha-europe.com/yamaha_europe/english_master/10_musical_instruments/30_guitars_basses_amps/60_electric_guitars/10_electric_guitars/30_aes_guitars/30_AES_FG/index.html
