New Custom Guitar day
I played this guitar (which won best of show) at the SEGAS show in NC last year and immediately fell in love with it. BEHOLD THE RED WITCHHand made here in NC in extremely small numbers and insane attention to detail these guitars are really neat. Each guitar has pickups handwound by the builder (this has PAF style). Specs 25 1/2 inch scale neck with med-jumbo frets Fretboard= Ziricote Neck Wood- Paduak, maple, ebony. Body wood- Sapele w/Flamed Burl top. Pickups- Handwound Guitar logistics Paf's .... voiced specifically for the guitar. Tuners- Shaller locking Neck Shape- Trapezoidal rounded. The body is extremely thin and reasonably light. I'll post some more pictures and clips when I get done staring at it. I literally emailed the builder knowing that this was his personal guitar, and asked if he'd be willing to sell.... guess he was www.guitar-logistics.comPISHHHHYA

Where's the pickup selector hiding? Push/pull pot? Not my usual flavor, but that's pretty classy and tasteful. Nice wood, natural finish, no inlays, no extraneous crap, and I even kinda like the headstock. Oh, and the better sort of locking tuners. (The larger knob on the Schallers is easier to grip, IMO, than the little thing on Sperzels.) How's it play? What's the neck like? Also, interesting pickup choice. I'm betting it has some character.

Re: New Custom Guitar day
If my eyes do not deceive me, that may be a concentric volume pot to control each pup?

Re: New Custom Guitar day
Yup, push-pull for switching. It plays very very well. Nice action and good finish work on the board. Frets are crowned very well and medium jumbos are some of my faves. The neck shape is pretty unique, like a rounded trapezoid.... give the thumb a secure placement but the neck is paduak so the feel is like rosewood so you just glide. Being that the guitar has a paduak neck the PAF's tame some of the quackiness inherit of the wood and balance things out, I think that high output buckers have their place but with my rig I can still do the brootalz with single coils if I had to.

Re: New Custom Guitar day
So my eyes did deceive me. And I do brootalz with single coils all the time.
