PRICE DROP
Hey all.
I have made the difficult decision to sell this guitar. I was planning to keep it, but I'd like to fund a couple more builds and new line of pedals.
I'm asking $1000.00 shipped to anywhere in North America. I'm basically allowing for $100 to ship as this beast is rather heavy. As I am a registered business, Applicable taxes are extra for Canadians. <-- LockWire guitars will PAY THE TAX (added 09/15/2010)
I will include a brand new Hardshell case, tool set, a Limited Lifetime Warranty and my heartfelt thanks for helping me go further with my business.
I would be happy to swap the pickup for any of the following if so desired: DiMarzio Steve's Special, PAF or Super Distortion or a Seymour Duncan Alternative 8.
Specs are as follows:
Purpleheart Wood body. This is HARD stuff. After this project, I have to throw away 6 router bits and have the blades in the planer and jointer sharpened. The cutting of the body resulted in broken band-saw blades and so much clogged/overheated sandpaper. I broke 3 drill bits and a screw assembling it too. I'm not going to be in a hurry to use this stuff as a full body again. It looks awesome though...
Maple/Rosewood neck, 24 Jumbo frets. This was finally contracted out after 2 failed attempts. It helped to find a neck builder willing to build to my specs. The neck was provided as a paddle, and I shaped the headstock.
Hardware used is Gotoh machine heads, Schaller Strap Locks and a Made in Germany Original Floyd Rose including a Schaller Sure Claw (Not pictured, it came later). The Pickup is a DiMarzio Mega Drive that I special ordered from the DiMarzio "Custom Shop".
The Pics below are in rough chronological order. Enjoy!
