Ooooh! Very cool.

Y'know, one thing I wondered was why they didn't use a Silent Circuit to reduce hum in the coil splits (I do this on most of my guitars). I know ... usually the answer is that the Artist makes the call about this stuff. But still, it's a handy thing to have.

 

[GWDavis28]

I've been following him on IG and I really love some of his reels, such great tones and such. He's a class add to the artist stable.

They've already sold 14. Off to a good start!

 

[chunderous]

Are these actually in stock, or do we expect a long wait time? Only 30 produced so surely they're all produced and ready to go?

I believe they only had 4 or 5 in stock and ready to ship out immediately, the rest are orders that have yet to be built.

That vault one is amazing. But, I just got a Sabre a month ago.

Now only 11 of 30 left

Hopefully the first one I have coming for store stock will be ready to ship from the factory this coming week!

 

[Sweat]

Nice but I will stick to my Diablo Blue DuBaldo special, much cooler IMO

Now only 11 of 30 left

. . . and the natural are sold out.
I would call that a successful debut.

Anyone else nab the Frenzied Flame version? Curious if you received any shipping notification or order update.

No notification for me, but I've seen at least two in Facebook groups that have already been delivered. One Vileblood, one Frenzied Flame. So they're definitely out there, depends what number out of 30 you ordered I suppose ...

 

[bjburley]

I reached out to Ernie Ball-they confirmed that 7 were initally ready to ship on the launch day (Frenzied Flame version) and several others were already in production. They are anticipating mine will be ready in 4-6 weeks.

Mine landed yesterday and I can hardly put it down. Stellar in every regard IMO although I’m not a fan of the huge Mono case.

 

[GWDavis28]

Love the inlays, so simple.
