Super cool finish. And looks so much better without the "060" inlay!

Grats man! Makes me want to break out of my Gibson surroundings and try something different

I specifically asked for no 060 inlay.

In hind sight, I should've gone with no inlays at all for a cleaner look.

I got the Arisitdes to try something different.

Everything I have is a Strat, Les Paul or Tele variation so this was something to fend off buying the same thing over & over again.

To be honest, this is a guitar made for overdrive & distortion. Even with gobs of distortion & gain, it remains crystal clear & you can hear every note clearly.

The clean tones are a little thin imo, since it's such an even sounding guitar. No one frequency is dominant.

The craftsmanship is amazing & the neck & play-ability is the best I've ever seen. It's super easy to play, each note rings out forever, there is not a single dead spot on the neck & the cutaway makes playing the high frets a breeze.

I'll try to make a short video later today.

3 quick videos before I have to leave the house.

All done with my Logitech quick cam with crappy built in mic.
