Here's your accordion!

no problem Syo, or as we say "No Scene dred...." :)

Here's the thing, I've been gassing for a semi-hollow for a couple years now and been drooling over the Gretch 5122, Epi Dot, Epi Dot Studio, Hagstrom Viking, Ibanez Artcores, and almost pulled the trigger on the Gretch and Epi Dot a few times. But I'm constantly reminded of the No. 6. I did cave and get the Carvin AE185 at a great deal, but with an acoustic bridge and the ability to blend the the piezo and the pups, she's a different personality. The Carvin is perfect for church, since I can get a great full acoustic sound with a turn of a knobbie.

Something about that No.6 Brownburst grabs me and shakes me to bits. So I'll wait patiently till she's available and bring her home. The rub will be if I can resist the Bender till then. Maybe I'll just get both... :)
 
I can't wait to have a #2, no, not that!

This!! With the maple fretboard. What kind of Bare Knuckle pickups are you putting on these bad boys? :dude

Love the maple fretboard version. I'd like that one with a humbucker in the neck, that would be perfect!
 
I would love that white #2 with a black guard, humbucker in the neck, maple fretboard, and reversed plate (my hand always hits the switch). That would be the bomb! Please say it can be done.

That sounds pretty sweet too!

Yes, I am! Bender, Zero Dot, and then the #2.. I have to say, both the Bender and the Zero Dot are such awesome guitars that I have to complete the Trifecta. :dude

My Number 2 has put the CV 50's Strat in mothballs. I'm thinking of using the Strat in a trade in.

Well, I assure you gentlemen that your suggestions will be filed and we will be sure to get back with you. Once the guitar gnomes arrive to handle our custom orders...;)
Actually I would love to be able to offer custom orders like these. Who knows, if we have a little success, perhaps we can. If we have enough interest in a humbuckered No. 2 I may do a limited run of those sometime.

Those come with a set of "The Boss" pickups from BK. My personal No.2 has Brown Sugars in it which have more of a classic Tele tone (though superior to stock US Tele pups) . The Boss are a little hotter. Both rock.

I was going to add that I wanted mine as a flying V with a Floyd Rose, hand-delivered by syo his own self riding a unicorn.

I don't ask for much :)

Although I have always had an unexplained soft spot for Teles with maple boards . . .
 
Actually, it wouldn't be so hard to fulfill my request. There's a maple board model 2 and it comes in white and one model appears to have a black pickguard. It would be fairly easy to switch pickguards and put the maple neck on the white #2. As for reversing the electronics, no biggie. I can flip it and rewire at leisure.

You're right stingx, it isn't a huge task. Unfortunately I'm burning the midnight oil as it is. I have put together some custom combinations for a few people however I have had to refrain from doing so for now. Just not enough time in my day, unfortunately.

Regarding the unicorn, Reverend, I traded him in for a fret press. I kind of regret it now though...:)
 
Howdy folks. Finally an update worth dating up...

Congrats, Michael the site looks great. Looking at your truss rod covers, might have to get one of them. They look awesome. Lovin' my Zero Dot!!!
 
Ah, the wait is finally over. Looks great so far. It could be just me, but the gallery link doesn't seem to work.
Great work, Michael. Outstanding!
 
Woo Congrats! I got the email this morning and had a quick look around the site and it looks great!

Loving my ZeroDot immensely! That BareKnuckle bridge humbucker is pure awesome!

The new set of tubes in my amp and the ZeroDot have proven to be an wicked combination. :)
