That's an interesting video, but they didn't even throw a shoe.

[Olav]

Yeah... I'm kinda waiting for Oigun to post his pics in here, don't want to hijack the thread

Plays like nothing else. In a good way.
I'm so glad we went with alder for the body, it sings and it growls all at the same time.
The RH100 pups by M3 are LOUD! They have punch and they pick up on the sustain in this thing.
Sustain? This has as much as my LP junior and that's a m-o-n-s-t-e-r!
M3 vibrato does divebombs and comes back into tune, no problem. Only thing is I already broke a high E string. Broke off the ball, so even before the winding.
Maybe a sharp edge in the stringanchor. I replaced the D'Addario Oigun set it up with with 7ender Super Bullets 10-46.
Not impressed with the kinda generic roller bridge I bought, it has the typical buzz you hear about from JazzMaster owners, I might go to a Mastery bridge.
I'm trying to get a recording that sounds half way decent, but my digicam can't handle the tones from the amp. Not like too loud, just sounds awful. (the recordings! jeez... ) Doesn't do the guitar justice, you'll just have to be patient a little longer till I can get something set up for my laptop.
Amazing guitar, I'm proud to own it. Thanks Oi! U DA MAN!

Olav youre welcome, Ddddddario's are not bad string for setups. And when they are fresh they sound great too.
Ok more Piccies:

[Sarah93003]

It looks great. The jet reflection in the pickguard is pretty cool too!

[Veenture]

Sarah already mentioned the jet reflection so I'll pop another question:
perhaps it has been mentioned already but then I forget sometimes -what does the "W" on the headstock stand for and also -now that I'm looking-, will it get a trussrod cover?
Truly a wonderful piece of work; I'm sure we have us here one lucky owner and one proud builder

[Olav]

I'll let Oigun field the W-question.
(I just pronounced that 'dubya' and laughed out loud, sad really, must be getting near my bedtime...)

[oigun]

Th W in the logo is the first letter of my last name.. It was the closest thing we can come up with instead of the mosrite M.
