i need to find the video of the CS piece worker pulling pre made fretboards out of small white cardboard boxes.
Or... you could go be a grumpy douche somewhere else :lol: :lol:

It's been hanging on the wall in a guitar store for a few years, sure it needs a bit of TLC :yawn:

ahh the "Wall Hanger Classic"

New Custom Shop Wall Hanger Classic
we've put the heavy handed Tabaco Burst finish from our Eppiphone line onto a custom shop model.
this finish ensures the guitars entrance into "wall hanger classic" no one would buy this guitar. unless heavily discounted.
matched with riverbed rosewood, the broken branch bits you see floating down the river. sustainable, all it needs is a buff n polish.
the true sprit of the custom shop lives on.

nice one, it`s even got your name on it.
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.

Sorry mate, but what on earth is your problem? Just jog on if you don't like it.

nice one,
what? Leave the OP to enjoy his NGD.

When I bought my tobacco burst R9 a few guys said they didn't like the finish. To me it was a refreshing change from all the cherry sunburst and the darker finish seemed to bring out the flame.

Anyway, it's a dream realised so, again, congrats. I wish I still had mine.

Congrats Ed. So it has a Piezo bridge? Interesting because I can't quite imagine Slash rocking that kind of sound. Would be superbly versatile for gigging however

WooHoo!
Happy NGD Ed! :D
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Thanks!

Yep it has a Fishman Powerbridge in it. During the Velvet Revolver tours he used the piezo bridge when doing acoustic songs like this:



That sounds *super* direct too, probably could have used just a little processing.

To be honest I doubt I'll ever really use it :lol:

Are you back in NZ?
I was! Snuck in shortly after the quarantine-free borders reopened, had a bit of a working holiday, and then got back to Sydney yesterday. Was super paranoid that baggage handlers would wreck the guitar but it arrived unscathed, phew.
