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.</p> <p>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!</p> Pat: Uh oh. I like the flames and the jack, pots and pickups.

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.</p> David, it’s a new guitar.

I love those subtle flames. I bet this axe is even better looking in person.
