The stock hardware ain't bad.

Oh, you can BUY mojo....... That's an extra $6800.

What some will do for little gain is beyond me. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THE GUITARS WILL COST AROUND 500 DOLLARS, DEPENDING ON THE TRIM LEVEL!!!!!! SINCE SOME OF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS UNDERSTANDING MY PREVIOUS COMMENT, I'LL JUST SHOUT THIS AND THE SPECULATION WILL END!!!!!!!! SINCE MOST MAY BE PRESOLD BY THE TIME THEY COME IN, IT MAY NOT MATTER!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! AND NO, THERE WILL NOT BE ANY LEFT HANDED ONES!!!!!!

Jesus Christ, gimme a break.

That will be a cool show. Good score, Dave.

They WILL be natural backs, in a semi Korina color.

I just received a couple calls about Dasein's post, so here's my take. These are not "Knockoffs", per se. These are guitars that I commisioned, inspired by my USA Custom stuff but in no way replacing them. This is our way of having a great guitar at a very good price that is distinct and exclusive... our own color and combination(natural back and sides is not offered on the regular guitars) with bigger necks and super fancy veneer tops. Kaman rewarded our long and successful relationship by offering this for us, and we actually could have gone much farther in the design and feature menu than we did. We are doing 6 of each model, and any future ones will have something different about them. The product line in general has already been "Walmarted", we wanted a higher quality import with a unique look and feel and we got it. With most guitar companies, the imports are hastily slapped together parodies of the main products, this was a rare chance to have a lower cost but still high quality version of the admittedly expensive USA handbuilt guitars. Oh, and I just dropped a Rio BBQ in the quilt top and it KILLS. MINE!

These are the final color prototypes, and the cool thing is that these guitars will sell for not much more than a custom color upcharge on a USA. That's right, these are XT Guitars! 6 Flametops and 6 Quilt tops(the Quilts will have the crowns and full Ultimate binding as well!). They just came in, so I whipped up these quick shots, more info later as time allows. Yup, we get cool stuff from our friends at Hamer..... (edited because I posted the wrong number of guitars in each run, I am a moron. Thank you.)

Nine months ago was a hot hookup date.

Actually, I DID do that one. NAH!!!!!! I KEEED, I KEEED!!!! Thanks for the kind words, folks, I'm just a desperately attractive guy doing the best that I can. (Or is that "attractively desperate"....)

If they are plated brass, no issue. If they are plated steel, miniscule difference, not worth worrying about. If they are plated Cajun, you paid too much.

When I win it, I will take the EMGs out and poop on them.

Happy Birthday to a fine gentleman that has impacted on more lives than any of us could have predicted.

Shapes of Things

He would, that Kiz.

Bring it, sailor boy!

Does anyone really think this is a real person? Come on.

I can safely say this this hockeypuck is NOT living in the same world as the rest of us.

You found out wrong. The guitar is worth about $150

I keep looking for a better gig amp for myself, can't find one. My T60 works flawlessly.

Everything rawks less than Jaye. Jaye Isham = Rawk like Fuwk.

Intonation is for pussies. Couldn't resist. For a quick fix at a gig on one of these Floyd bases strip out deals.... Take a pair of pliers and clamp down HARD on the threads of the screw. This will bung them up, and then you can reinstall and lock it down ONCE. The boogered threads will cut into the boogered baseplate, and friction is your friend. Replace the bridge plate as soon as possible, but this will getyou thru for a while.
