I like the flames <em>and</em> the jack, pots and pickups. I'm torn somewhere between a designer and a nerd. :) As always, I'm just not sure which camp to pitch my tent in. I'm not too big a fan of the fat necks either. And you know Matt's style, so I'm sure your input is spot on. He mentioned you guys jam together. I've got your disc and I really dig it. There's some cool stuff there. Keep up the great work! Pat: Uh oh. I like the flames and the jack, pots and pickups.

The neck could be a deal breaker, def. But it's worth a look. In the grand scheme of guitar gear that I need, this is fairly low priority, and is probably a ways off in the future. But it's still cool. Mostly I'm just dreaming. Pat’s right, I love it for the way it looks, but the hardware is good. The neck could be a deal breaker, def. But it’s worth a look.

I know that some people like the fat necks, but knowing Matt, I have a suspicion that he might not... I do think it's funny that he fell in love with the guitar because of the flames (which do look awesome), which is typical Matt. But when he showed me the website I was like, "Built in strap locks - that's nice. And a locking Neutrik jack. OH!!! Push/pull pots for coil-tapped pickups!!! Awesome!!!" Which just goes to show why he's a graphic designer and I'm a nerd. David, it’s a new guitar. I know that some people like the fat necks, but knowing Matt, I have a suspicion that he might not…

That's gorgeous! I haven't seen this yet. (Perhaps I'm under a rock.) I love those subtle flames. I bet this axe is even better looking in person. Pat: As with any instrument, shape and size, fit and finish do matter, but it's relative. I know some players who dig the fatter necks. Wow. That’s gorgeous! I haven’t seen this yet.

Play before you buy, or you might wish that you had just put strings on a baseball bat instead. Two words: 50’s neck.
