Paul, you asked me to torture you as much as I could so here is my final installment.

As I mentioned in an earlier thread, UPS was scheduled to deliver your guitar today (Friday). This works out great for me and bad for you because I can't ship it out on Saturday or Sunday so I get to gig it Sunday night at the Hartford jail :cool: Also, we are closed on Mondays so I won't be shipping it out until Tuesday - and that's IF the UPS driver remembers to stop at the store and pick it up. I just wanted to mention that again, so you know your guitar is still possibly 4 days away from shipping. :D

Anyways, I snapped a few pics of the delivery this afternoon, in anticipation of being stunned by the beauty of your guitar. It turns out I was stunned, but the RadRed had nothing to do with it....

And now that the case is finally out of the box, I open it up only to find THIS inside of it.

Wow... that's awesome. But it needs chrome knobs!

(For the life of me, i can't figure out why EBMM artists specify black knobs on guitars that have all chrome hardware.)
 
Because black is COOL man :D. It complements the pickups, the rosewood, the black trem plug handle thingy and the color (especially the red AND CBP :D).
Pete, I love your shinanigans. I cant wait to see more torture, especially for the 20th Silos :).
Paul, nice score, and freakin sweet birdseye. How come I never get that lucky. I'm freakin keeping my fingers crossed for my 20th Silo.

It's not that difficult. In the 15 minutes I had my paws on the lefty LUKE I was able to do all the first position major chords. Given enough time, and the frankenstein assembly of lefty guitar parts at the other store, I may play lefty at the birthday bash!
 
Well I want a rad red luke (rt. hand) GGGG...
with piezo
how does the piezo work? separate court into an acoustic amp?
Never tried an electric with one.
 
You, sir, are an evil man!

Although, that said, I've just bought a guitar that was setup by you! I'll be sure to perform all the neccessary excorcisms to rid the guitar of the evil within.. ;)

Which one be that, and who in their right mind would advertise it as such? I do very few customer spec'd setups on EBMMs before they leave here, but they all kickass :D If you email me who the seller was, I can tell you if I worked on it or just shipped it.
