I think it may be a Japanese Samurai. Though i could be wrong. Nice carving job though. |

naw it's actually a rendition of the death dealer by Frank Frazetta, but it kinda goes along with the Celtic signs on the brass guard.............kinda lol. The sound is as you could imagine kinda dark as well.........mahogany, sperzel tunners, 100% Rosewood, a heavy Floyd Rose Bridge...........you can feel the body vibrate forever as well. The Motherbucker actually does quite well in the upper registers, with the way I have it wired I can "tune" in most of the guitars I hear on DVD's, that and with the tone controls I have on my amp. I'm really curious about the vari-tone and how that will affect the sound as well................. |

Looks pretty darn cool... love the carving job. Did you make the neck yourself? |

No I purchased that since it was my first build I thought I'd minimize the potential for mistakes. On my next build I'll do it all.........actually thinking about building a CNC machine to help make the building more exact. For some reason I feel more comfortable trusting expensive wood to a computer than my hands.....lol. |
