Man Joe Balaguer has been working on this for a minute now but hot DANG did it come out great! A forumite on another board I frequent did the graphics for the builder (bodies, paint, options, etc) and I think it's one of the best builders visually/functionally I have come across.

What tuners do they put on them. There's not a choice on the mock-up. I see you can do a hipshot bridge, do they do hipshot tuners?

The Balaguer tuners are made in the same place by the same folks as Hipshot. I have them on my guitar and they are super stable.
 
More mock ups...

I normally hate Sig model guitars but the Hyperion is pretty darned slick.

Why are they so cheap???

Just a little more than 1000 usd

Made in Korea as far as I remember, but I bet that's a lot of guitar for the money.

I was going to say the same thing. They are made in the same factory.

They are and they ARE! Believe me, I was a "Made In USA" or Japan only guy for years. After getting my Balaguer, it really opened me up to Korean builds. Even led to me getting a Schecter KM7 which is fantastic. I have a Balaguer Semi-Custom that should be shipping soon which I will do a vid for for sure.

Final inspection, setup and all that is done personally by Joe and his team here in PA.

I was the same way but after I got my first semi custom, I completely opened my eyes.

I assume they are locking tuners?

Thinking a Hyperion or Thicket will be my next guitar.
Yeah man the trans-white one I posted above is a strong contender for my "next" guitar! LOL!

As is this...

I have a spalted top thicket bb and a silverburst hyperion. The only problem is picking a #1 lol.

I'd like to get either a growler or astra next.
