diablo175 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Posted August 28, 2020 So, this photo showed up in my text messages today! I am totally digging the look of SFG with the maple neck and black hardware.
diablo175 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Posted August 28, 2020 A before and after. While the figuring does pop a bit more in version 1, I much prefer the color and subtlety of version 2! Note the FU Tone Floyd which was an expensive and ineffective attempt to emulate a proper OFR. Burrito 1.2 has the real deal!

And I bet it plays even better. Can’t wait for the full tone report.

scottcald Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Also perhaps we think be the color of that guy's jacket in the poster.

diablo175 Posted November 11, 2020 Author Posted November 11, 2020 The building continues! First: Specter LED inlays!
diablo175 Posted November 11, 2020 Author Posted November 11, 2020 Then, Spitfire 2 is taking shape nicely!!
slingblader Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Awesome, that looks great! Are the LEDs tough to install?

diablo175 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Posted December 1, 2020 Mmm... a full Gravelin set for the "'Zza" Mongoose bridge, and 2 JV-S for the neck and middle.

diablo175 Posted January 15, 2021 Author Posted January 15, 2021 haven't posted here in a spell because I was recording music for a change - but some cool developments in the upcoming HEL builds:

Steve Haynie Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 Those inlays are a little over the top, are they not? Good!
