-Black Blocks Inlays with Black Binding
-Nordstrand Big Singles
-Aguilar OBP-2 2 band preamp (cut and boost)
-Ultralite Tuning Gears
-B Style Bridge
-W/B/W p/g
-chrome Hardware

I always wondered, how do you get your headstock design done? Does warmoth do it from a template you provide, or do they send you an uncut headstock and you cut it? |

I especially like your 5-string headstock design.
Now I'm REALLY GAS-ing for that silver Geddy PJ five-string!
