I saw that picture too. What is that guitar? No name, no visable controls. Did I miss a thread on that. Curious mind wants to know.

That's a wicked build by Paul Hamer.

Related topic:  Rick supposedly ordered a set of checkered Explorers from Gibson CS a couple of years ago, but I've not seen them out in the wild.  WTH happened to those?

Paul delivered that one to Rick last year.  Some unique features include the aforementioned lack of front controls, but more spectacularly, the black ebony and MOP inlaid checkerboard over the entire top/fingerboard and headstock.

So where is the pickup switch? And are there vol and tone controls?

It's the perfect guitar for pantomime.

That's Greg Koch (but Me thinks you already knew that).

How in hell do you play that neck.  I have a hard enough time in low light with an Ebony or Rosewood fingerboard, but that checkerboard is crazy!

One of two ways.  

You have played so long you know the shape of the neck and don't have to look anymore.

If you aren't really playing, then who the fuck cares what the neck looks like....

Amiright?   😆

It's night blindness. It's getting worse, and I try not to drive at night, unless it's a very well lit road. 

One reason I ordered the 12ver with 10 Victory inlays on the ebony board is so I could see them in low light....well...maybe that's not entirely...true...
