WezV Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 ok, some really bizarre perspective issues on this guitar.. Looking at multi-scale boards can sometimes be a lot for the head to take in but add to that the end of the fretboard and neck pickup angling the opposite way and then flipping back to follow the fan for the bridge pickup.... plus the slight ofset of the body as well when i saw the pictures in the GOTM thread i wasnt sure that i liked it ... but seeing it in the hands of the player it looks to be a perfect fit and my brain starts to accept all those bits its not used to seeing. Looking forward to starting my 2nd multiscale next week and i might even angle the end of my fretboard like that... see, i have gone from 'not sure it looks right' to 'excuse me whilst i steal that' in the space of one post... it must be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
