SICK! The finish is hot and the shape is cool!

That's a gorgeous guitar, man! I bet it plays even better than it looks.

I like the back of that thing more than the front. The neck is supremo looking.

I Agree. That neck is incredible. Congrats!

Oh it was damaged in shipping. It was dinged pretty bad on the side and verrrry slightly on the top. And then to top it off when Fedex shipped it back to Mike it was dinged in a few different places on the body and the tip of the headstock was damaged pretty bad. But it's all good, it looks as good as new now.

Well after sending the guitar back to fedex for inspection and having it in insurance limbo hell for a few months, and then waiting for the paint to be fixed, I finally have my baby back! Now it's as flawless aesthetically as it is playing-wise. I'm so glad I got this guitar, it's the best one I've ever tried.

What happened that it had to go to FedEx for inspection? I've searched through the thread looking for a clue but I'm not seeing it.

Thanks. I will probably get one. May go for the hipshot tuners too. Unfortunately whilst I am looking to assemble what will hopefully be a decent guitar I can't say I have a good track record with these sorts of jobs. It definitely won't be as good as the 'JD' model shown.

Re: Holy Best NGD Ever (No Exaggeration)

Hipshot hardtails are among the best out there IMO, same with their tuners. I like the fact that they're all brass instead of steel since I've always Favorited the sound of brass to steel. That said though the ABM hardtail is a very cool choice for a steel hardtail.

Re: Holy Best NGD Ever (No Exaggeration)

Thanks man!I love the bridge. It's very sleek and feels great under the hand. I can't compare it to other designs as I've never had a guitar like this, but I do know that if I wanted to build a guitar with a flat mount hardtail, I would definitely use this. Unless of course I wanted to give the Hannes bridge a try, but I've heard that it doesn't work well with every guitar.

Re: Holy Best NGD Ever (No Exaggeration)

Absolutely gorgeous guitar. Enjoy! Looks like a very nice set up.

An odd question... What do you make of the bridge? I am about to embark on a project of my own and I am looking into various flat mounted fixed bridges. That hipshot unit has caught my eye and I am curious about how it compares to others.

Anyhow once again massive congratulations. Doubt you will be putting it down often

Re: Holy Best NGD Ever (No Exaggeration)

I liked the OP just because the guitar is so nice it deserves to be number one. haha

Re: Holy Best NGD Ever (No Exaggeration)

Beautiful guitar Mike. Congrats Agile on the best NGD ever!

Re: Holy Best NGD Ever (No Exaggeration)

Gorgeous in every respect. I especially love the natural wood binding. WOW that's nice!!

That's real drool material there. Creates gas in buckets.
