haha, not to steal your thunder or anything.....

I finished my custom guitar about just 5 days ago, took about 3 months to build... I really think I am going to get into this business. These pics were taken before the strings were put on it.

So who here likes Muse?
haha...


Rio Grande Crunchbox in the bridge.
And a custom Mississippi Queen in the neck.


I'm looking to switch out the Crunchbox for another bareknuckle, the MQ is amazing. I need a better clean tone with a still incredible harmonics when distorted.



Are you making yours yourself?

Out of curiosity, how does a Manson feel when it comes out of the shop? I have this idea that they are flawless in every sense, since they cost so much.

How was the action?
Quality of sound?
Any "rough" parts?

I'm especially interested in the action of these...
