[Virtual Pariah]

Very Hot. Sully has a lot of cool ideas there, and he's an oldSkool Charvel/Jackson freak, so He'll build them necks just right.

Lovely body design. But the headstock is too long.

 

[DFB]

I like that, headstone be damned.

 

[LeftyTom]

Lovely.

 

[CBHScott]

:hmm:

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

I might like it in black.

 

[CBHScott]

OK, overall that's quite a nicely-done guitar. Now, I'm not a hater of zebra-coil pickups, but they really seem to clash on this one; probably would look better with covered 'buckers.

I like the inlay design - kinda modern, but subtle at the same time.

 

[Knox in Box]

Don't like the ass of that thing. The rest is all good, I'm not saying it should look more like something else, just less like that there.

 

[Coralkong]

Meh.

Kind of reminds me (the back, anyway) of the old Aria Pro II LP knock off's.

The proportions look a bit strange. I don't hate it though

 

[gtrjunior]

I don't like the butt end or the strap button placement but otherwise I'm on board.

 

[Jbird]

Reminds me of the Fernandes Ravelle. Doesn't @Brian Krashpad own a Ravelle?

 

[Chad]

They had me until I got to the bottom of the body.

The HS is a little big looking compared to the body but yeah, I think it's pretty neat.

I can see that

way back in the day I used to frequent the jackson charvel forums (well before I started posting on harmony central) - sully was a regular poster there; it's cool to see him doing such jackson-y stuff.

 

[Danhedonia]

Like your men.

 

[dougk]

Freaking love them.

Sully showed me the prototype years ago and I told him he had a winner then, and he still has a winner now!

I keep opening this thread to look at the gorgeously smooth gradient on the top. Whoever did that was a master. Compare to the sloppy assed work on this hunk of shit:

 

[PunkKitty]

That's a whole lot of ugly.
