I'd never actually be caught wearing glitter....there's a limit to my semi-glam Queen/Muse influence haha!

there is such a thing as taking a little too far..........

I'm not judging you, man. If you want to wear a pink glitter guitar that's totally righteous. It's nearly 2010 after all :P

You know I'm joking, the fiddle looks sweet as hell.

Bob, you should ignore the Cptn and fit a locking nut! He can always leave the locking nut off if he wants it to go out of tune and make silly noises. Looks daft without it too  8)

It isn't going to go out of tune Lew; I don't make guitars that go out of tune :) :)

The Earvana nut, which really can help with intonation. dictates that a locking nut is out. If there's any sign of instability in the tuning it'll get a string lock immediately behind the nut. "looking daft" doesn't really enter into it.

Cheers,

Yes, yes it does....

It was however a  mucho pain in the ass to finally come together.....I'm notoriously picky but horrendously undesicive, which is a bad combo when working with an amazing luthier such as Bob who will offer useful suggestions and insight but basically builds whatever you want him to...my first design was a concoction of confusion that after Bob finished the first one, I basically thought "hmmm.....what was I thinking!" So we recycled the neck and pickups to build a second one after I simmered down, of course as you see is amazing.

However, after looking over my original design, then using MS paint to paint on the parts as they were upon the photos of the Glitterati I have, I'm thinking, "wow, if I hadn't redesinged it 30 million times over it could've been awesome as well..." speaking of which I need to send said file to Bob....

And thus, my next project is born!

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you would make gear that goes out of tune. I just assumed the Cptn chose a Floyd over a normal 2 point because he was gonna unleash the fury on it.

No worries Lew; I just thought I'd explain why it is like it is.  :D
