NGD: Blackmachine B6 with awesome cold sweat/VH2 camp
« on: January 02, 2014, 03:19:55 PM »
Hi folks, this is my first post and NGD here.

Here we go..










BLACKMACHINE B6 2013 #16

Specs:
Guitar: BLACKMACHINE B6 No.16 (2013)
Bare Knuckle Coldsweat Bridge / VHII Neck(reversed pol)
Petrucci Style wiring & Switch
1 Vol/No tone.
2piece lightweight swamp ash body
Indian rosewood fretboard
Maple neck with dyed black maple fillets
Schaller Hannes, Carbon fibre/black chrome
Sperzel Locking Tuners

   
REVIEW:
The first feeling i got from fiddeling some high notes on the clean channel was that it feels like silk, the BK-VHII humbucker is incredibly clear and the harmonics are just perfect . In the middle position (split humbucker mode) it got an amazing piezo feeling, good string separation with that acoustic vibe going on.

I quickly got into heavier chugging stuff with hi-gain.  This guitar is meant to be played hard! The sound is pretty dark with allot of attack. The maple/swamp ash combo is doing something magically with the acoustics and the pickups captures that dark vibe perfectly!

This guitar is a workhorse. It's the real deal, you feel that instantly when you pick it up and plug it in. It is light and sounds HUGE, i love the simplicity and i could not have selected any better pickup combination..

IŽll post some clips later on.

Comments are welcome!

That's such an elegant guitar, a bit too modern for me but I can certainly appreciate the quality.

And as Philly said, welcome aboard.
