Okay, well it has finally arrived. I've been quite quiet about it, but it has finally arrived.

My lovely new Blackmachine!!! It is made from one solid piece of quilted mahogany, snakewood fret board, Ceramic Warpig pickups and all the usual malarky. It is truely stunning and really doesn't come across that well in the pictures. However I have taken quite a few.

Enjoy!

and finally me humping my guitar

it looks a bit like you took an ibanez and put a parker neck on it. there isn't quite enough body detailing for my liking, but what matters is how it plays and sounds.

Congratulations, you look very proud :D
I played a Blackmachine at 2005 LGS (the baritone 8 string model) and it was really comfortable. You said one piece mahogany, even the neck? That must be a big piece of wood :oops:

The man or the guitar? :lol:

Hurrga ... very special, cool. Woods I've never touched.

The position of the Bridge PU looks interesting, seems a bit further away from the bridge than usual? Is that because of harmonics?

The guitar and the warpigs look killer!

CLIPS !!!!!

Looks well nice, the only thing I dont like about Blackmachines is the headstock, it looks a bit weird to me. Bet she sounds beastly though :)

Thanks for all the comments guys. Much appreciated!

I have always loved BKP's, however this guitar has taken them to a new level for me. The guitar sounds fantastic unplugged. Extremely loud and the you can hear the tone of it beautifully. Then plugged in, it just rips it up. The distortion sounds so clear and tight, chord voicings come out amazingly. It also cleans up, to the extent where I don't need to use the clean channel if need be. It also has a coil switch which in position one, its humbuckers, then postion two the bridge is in humbucker neck in single coil, then the third postion both pickups are in single coil. Also with the 3 way switch, thats alot of possibilites for sounds. I will at some point do some clips. Not sure if I'll be able to do it with the Engl straight away.

Thanks again!
