mistermikev Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 some very nice stuff there. autumn leaves is the standout for me! I did a latin version of autumn leaves for "jazz big band" in college and got to hear a whole band struggle to play my arrangement! haha! wish I had recorded it! Anywho, that guitar's name brings back good memories but fortunately for you your guitar is much nicer than my jazz arranging! Cudos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Natural Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 all of them are beauts drak-but I really love the way you tied everything together on that Iommi Machine- the color on the body and headstock- the pickups and even the toggle switch plate. Well done man. Little details like that can really make a build. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

komodo Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 All jawdroppers! Love the Autumn Leaves as well, unbelievable quilt there. My fav is still the blue Rhoads-like V, wasn't it the Shark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drak Posted March 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Late replies, apologies! Thanks for the very nice words everyone. The Iommi Machine really needs to be heard to be believed. The pickups are the Mini-HB version of the Bill Lawrence L-500 HB's from the late '70's Joliet, Tn run. Think Dimebag, and you have thought correct. The thing is brutally loud but not sterile. The mini-hums are pretty much exactly the same as the full-size versions, just in a different format. I use it (and it was primarily designed for) downtuned material. The Lawrences are nearly like active's, but better, to me. Herbsman has all different pickups now, I totally fine-tuned it and dialed it so it also is a monster now. That guitar has a 24.75" Warmoth (fatback, boatneck, can't remember) conversion neck that I just LOVE. I have built a few new Steerheads, I'll post them one day. Thanks!
