    Frankenstein's Monster!

    OK after hijacking the Live Earth thread I have moved the results of my evil experiments to a new thread.

    You know how we sometimes get threads asking what your ideal/fave EBMM would be - well mine wasnt that difficult. I wanted a flame top hard tail piezo ASS in trans blue, but with a solid rosewood neck. I tried to get one "legally" <G> and failed. But being a guitar shop owner I was able to procure two guitars and make one bastard son....

    Therefore I present a one of a kind (AFAIK) ASS.

    Enjoy

    That's pretty interesting Dave.
    I'm not sure if I love it or hate it.

    How could you hate it - it looks like a standard ASS with a nicer feeling (and sounding) rosewood neck.

    I'd be all over one of those if I could order it, of course I'd want matching blue flame headstock to boot! Thanks for sharing.

    If I were to hate it (which isn't confirmed by any means) it would not be from the beautifuls sounds I'm sure it could produce. It would be because I see a nice blue body and what looks like a poop on the headstock.
    I do however like the "whole" version of the Rosewood Axis. My wife almost talked me into getting one.
