I have one of the first 500 with hard case/plaque. It is an amazing guitar!
What colour have you gone for? I really fancy the Polar blue with Maple fingerboard.
Guess what?....out of stock

I heard a player tell a story about only buying black guitars and his wife still hasn't figured out how many he owns.

I didn't have a choice in the matter. I saw the Silver Sky in our local Craigslist used. I drove an hour and bought it after 30 seconds of playing it.
It is Onyx/black and they don't offer that anymore.
It has a lovely flamed maple neck to boot!
My newest is one I put together. Surprisingly it has turned out to be the best sounding and feeling Strat I have ever owned.
2006 MIM body
2004 MIM neck
Schaller locking tuners
Graphtech nut and string tree
Odezza custom pickups
Highwood saddles
Linier taper CTS pots
Orange drop cap
Wired with a single master tone and volume
The failed relic job was not my work, and why the body came to me so cheap.
I just blew up my Kabinet fund because they're not available
Happened to come across a Ran Crusher available locally, and since the price was good, I jumped on it.
Here are some pics.
Usually, after paying a lot of money for a guitar, I start to feel guilty pangs, but with this one, for some reason, I feel like I did the right thing buying it. Go figure.
You're an animal, AJ.
Looks great man. I'm a big fan of wood, so love the look.

Too bad it's never been possible to buy any of them here in Sweden. I really would like to try any of them.
Argh! Shortest NGD ever.
There was a strange crack in the neck of the guitar that I didn't notice on first inspection, so I contacted the seller and explained the situation.
He was a standup guy and after taking a look at the guitar after travelling to me just about an hour ago, he returned my money.
Such a sad day. The guitar was great too. He offered to share the cost of repair with me, but it was an expensive guitar and I figured I'd have trouble with it later, so I asked him to refund me.
Felt really guilty too because the seller was a gentleman. Sad sad sad.
Don't feel guilty about transacting with an honest person. I don't see many at work but I love them when I do.
My latest creation. It took me about 4 month to get the finish right (too cold for color-spraying). But I'd say, it was worth the time.:
Well, got the new Schecter C-1 Apocalypse in Wednesday. Unfortunately it is going back.
Fret ends are like a hacksaw blade. Not dressed at all, and sticking out.
Binding has cracks in about 4 places along the neck.
Neck had terrible back-bow, that I finally alleviated after loosening the TR and cranking the strings up a little and leaving overnight.
Most of these issues (fret sprout, cracked binding) is from being too dry.
I could dress the frets, but the binding is a deal breaker. My KM7 is Korean. This C-1 is Indonesian. Maybe the difference in quality? The KM7 had beautifully dressed fret ends.
This is a shame. I love the weight, the neck profile is awesome. I can get the action very low with no fret buzz.
They are sending another, and I'll keep my fingers crossed. I had them cross-ship one.
If this one is better, I could be talked in to keeping it, with a discount, but not at full price.

wow that sucks man, my apocalypse is the solo II and it’s made in Korea, quite possibly the best guitar I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a LOT. Ebony board, stainless frets (all perfect on the ends), custom shop pickups, locking tuners. The red finish is gaudy but looks good under stage lights, and if I get sick of it I can have a nice paint job done.
My previous best and the one that got away was a Kramer nightswan, but stupid me at age 23 traded it away for 2 guitars.
At age 51 I won’t make those mistakes again.

No, now we get to make new and exciting mistakes!

Looks like a 330 with humbuckers - did you build it or simply refinish it?

Traded this made in Japan 2010 EVH Wolfgang Special for my BluGuitar Amp1, Remote1 and looperkit. Between the Stage, Kone and my Strymon Iridium-based board, the Amp1 wasn’t going to get much play time. I liked it a lot, though.
My new Telecaster Ultra

I've build it from scratch. Bought the wood in china, everything else from over the world. The Humbuckers were custom made by Stew Mac for me. Japanese GoTo Tuners, bone nut and brass bridge and tail.
