Need to show this off now its done (being talking about it loads on here anyway :lol:)
Well, it arrived today.
From Bob Johnson @ Legra Guitars... my '5150' custom EVH\J-Frog inspired (but er, 'classier') axe of doom :D
Work in Progress Shot:

The level of craftsmanship is unbelievable, couldnt find anything to fault Bob on, the fit and finish (and setup) is spot on. Its got sweet contours on the body and the neck joint is one of the most comfy and accessible i've played. The Wizard style maple neck feels amazing, really fast and should get nice and grubby after a few months of hard playing :D
One thing which you cant see in the photos is some extra detailing like the carbon fibre effect back plates and the headstock... its not painted black, its a piece of ebony veneer,and has a really nice grain running through it!!! And the flaming on the fingerboard is really sweet aswell.
Oh and it came in a swish black\gold logo'd Legra case.. nice!
Sound wise the Nailbomb is great, i had a quick play this morning, so not been able to get used to tweaking up my new JCM 800 (thanks Tim!) and the Mass attenuator etc, but so far it sounds great, got a brilliant power metal tone! (had it on Master 5, pre 10.. it was CRANKED hehe) The Mothers Milk is really vintagey sounding, very nice indeed (mmm milky!).
Also got my Guitarport so once i've played abit etc i'll bung some clips up and stuff :D
I'd HIGHLY recommend Bobs work to anyone thinking of a custom axe, the proof is in the playing... and unless this one falls apart in a couple of days ( :lol: ) the playing is always gonna be good!!!
Now, soon as 10pm roles round i can get off work and blow some eardrums
