guys we make whatever the artist wants. Steve and I came up with this while we were on the GC clinic tour. Sometimes they just end up being experiments and sometimes they see the light of day....we just have to see how Steve likes it. Dont worry it isnt going to replace the sm or the y2d

the neck looks close to steve's number one which if i heard right in the video introducing the Y2D to steve, BP was going over steve's "#1" bringing up that the figuring is really hard to get. but man the neck is to die for!!! i so need to see this in action!

Steve has great ears (huge understatement) ... I'm really interested to hear his thoughts on the chambering, etc.

Dargin, BP, you guys do the coolest stuff. Every day you guys make me want to pack up my stuff and beg for a job in SLO.

WOW! That's the best flame top I've ever seen...PERIOD! And the neck....I'm at a loss for words. The neck is simply brilliant.

I'd love to see it in the De-Purple Burst. :)

Oh my sweet Fuji Apples!!!!!!

That is sincerely the best guitar I have ever seen. My mind is going nuts here trying to figure out what it'll sound like!!!

I wanted a 25th with a rw fb, and hardtail. That tune-o-matic style just makes this stellar!

Love the looks of this and the regular 25th. What are the advantages/disadvantages of this kind of bridge over a regular hardtail string through model?

That's a good question, but I'd imagine a there'd be greater tension over the saddles making for better tune stability and sustain.

I'm no expert though.
