Love headless - Ive gone without head for quite a while now.(just for you JB)....remarkable for the money. I have family and friends who keep asking why I havent sold any of may builds...and heres the answer. I cant buy hardware and pickups for a build for that price let alobe add in the wood and time...

Its almost worth buying some of these low/mid price guitars just for the hardware...or even the neck....make a new body....mmm

I had one of these recently - couldn't get into the small profile and weight. They're definitely cool for what they are though, and this one looks much cooler. Can't get past the wooden knobs though!

I see that style guitar on Instragram a fair bit, yours looks really nice BTW.

I reckon some of those Instagram shredders speed the videos up. some of that stuff is just way fast and too cleanly played to be legit
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

I thought that after watching a video where the guy actually speed the video up. he went on to explain it was twice the original speed.
pitch stayed the same. looked a lot like those cute chicks nailing 16ths at 300BPM.

but then again what do I know yadda yadda branch wood scarf joints etc

I don’t get speed playing. Some of it has its place but too much is too much.

Blah blah, just clogging up the thread now

Wow, butt hurt much? So every female that you find attractive that plays fast is speeding up the video?
