wow, what a neck...a nice clean build all around...i like uncluttered guitars...one knob, one pick, no fret markers (same as all my guitars)

well done sir, well done

that body takes me right back to 1984...perfect
 
I was very surprised at how well the 85X/81X pups do in my VIP.  I like the cleanness of your build.  That birdseye is amazing... even enough to make me not mind the reverse headstock!

I've been playing guitar for almost 23 years and have never touched the tone knob except to screw around.  I've certainly never touched it when playing live or in the studio so given the chance to spec my own guitar I went with only what I use.  I will say that on a solid color--especially one this bright :glasses9:--the lack of a neck pickup looks a little weird to me... like a low-end entry model production guitar. 

I can't say enough about the neck... I've been ogling it since it got delivered to my door. 
 
That is AWESOME!!!  Even though I'm not a fan of reverse headstock necks, the birdseye and no inlays is KILLER!!!  Excellent work!  :headbang1:
 
If you feel the urge, you can always have it modified to have a neck pup further down the road.

That's a neck plate waiting to happen...  :party07:
 
It would look absolutly killer (more then it already does) if the pickup had been angled like to old Kramers...

Great look axe!
 
Now there's a guitar that's safe to play in heavy traffic.  Actually, I like it.  :)
 
That really came together into a beautiful guitar. I love that color. I like colors that you can't quite put your finger on what color it is.

Wrong Hairspray? I've never really liked birdseye, but that's one badass guitar. I've always been a fan of one-pickups Soloists.

Cool, didn't realize they made a long hair piece for Mrs. Potato Head!!  :tard:

Nice shred machine! It made me think of Paul Gilbert in the Racer X era. I will give my redundant +1 to the awesomeness of that neck.  :guitaristgif:
