Nice stuff Ben-I notice you say "current"-are you thinking of adding? I keep hearing about the Agiles-all positive.

Which company made Kami? I've asked this before but the name has slipped from my mind.

It's true that ESP make a model just like that one, but this particular guitar isn't an ESP. It's from an independant company here in the UK.

I'm pretty sure TO said it's a Limited Edition ESP made one, think he might have changed the neck though.

Nice guitars.

Interesting choice, taking direct wiring to jack. Trying to get the purest tone possible?

I'd like to philking do this. One guitar at a time  :twisted:
