Nice. The sound should fit the look I recon. Congrats on this one!

How do you like the pickups working with the guitar?

heres a more in depth demo and review of the guitar.

the pickups seem to work great so far. especially the supermassive. i wish i couldve had something a little less hot in the bridge but hotter than the supermassive. like a crawler in a p90 wouldve been amazing.

You could have used separate bridge and neck volume pots, so that you could roll off the bridge a little

Very nice guitar you got there mate, congrats! Only thing that bothers me a bit is the headstock, but then again that's probably what makes it so unique haha  :laugh:

From the pic, I thought "that looks weird..."

But in the vid it actually looks quite cool... the sort of thing gwEm would like!  Sounds ace too.

It looks a bit weird and that's the key of beauty, it's not your standard tele, but the longer I look at it, it grows on me. The headstock doesn't follow the curve of the end of the body. That's what I would have done. For the rest, cool rawness. Sounds very nice too, really shines with medium gain.

Looks great! Different style, but very cool.

Have you ever tried the supermassive bridge? I don't think it would lack.
