    Thanks @Chris.B I really like how the red binding turned out, against the purple.

    Now this was a guitar of many firsts for me;
    WBW binding
    Floyd Rose (genuine)
    Sustainiac
    Scalloped frets (15-27 (yep))
    Sperzel tuners

    Walnut and Maple deep set tenon neck
    Meranti body for light weight
    Matte nitro finish

    27" scale to fit the sustainiac because the customer wanted 27 frets haha. But this thing has toured a lot of the world in a very well known (in the scene) thrash metal band, and the guy actually has an Iceman that was owned by Sam Totman which is his backup, behind mine. We coined the model name Wayman as his name is Wayne and it's based on the Iceman (clever haha) and it's nickname is The Hate Machine








    Oh fuck yes.

    Thanks @Chris.B it's already delivered and I had the best email off him telling me how much he loves it
    @davros thanks, I do all my own spraying in house. I'm gonna see if I got some pics of it and do a little write up. I did such a thread for the crackle I did.
