Naw, this is an Edge Pro, so I will keep the bridge floating. I grabbed some boring old Ibby Goth's, since the nut will be locked anyway.

If the Schallers weren't 3x the price I'd go for them because they look awesome, but they're a tad redundant, and this thing is already about 3x more expensive than I initially intended it to be.

Should probably make an epic video once it's wired...

Guitar is looking badass. I dig it.

Toonahs.



(and my iPhone camera apparently turning the contrast up..)

Little known fact. The goths actually split into 3 branches, not just 2. There were the ostrogoths and the visigoths, which everybody knows about, but there was another group. A group known a=only as the mysterious...

That looks great though
relative to that swirl, lol

That thing is gorgeously, retina-searingly hideous in person.

All it needs now is some DR Neons.

Looking good

I'm definitely going to toss a set on, if for no other reason than the photo op when it's done.

Just waiting on trem studs and I can start putting it together! Ordered a set from Stewmac (5 bucks, with anchors, wtf?) and have a set on the way from Mai-Guitar just in case, along with up some brand new black top hat knobs for it.

IT LIVES!







Still a bit of work to do - it's not wired up for one (haha) and the action is quite a bit high, but I'm just letting it all settle in before I deal with the setup.

That said - it's in tune, and for the first time I could actually play it, which was pretty fucking cool. This is the first time I've ever actually put the whole thing together myself, and barring any unforseen soldering issues it's going pretty damn well!
