    Nice. The horns and the narrow waist on the body kind of remind me of my Driskill.

    If you threw in a BKP aftermath I could imagine misha mansoor would probably be interested.

    I'm curious how this one sounds, especially the lowest string.

    The new headstock is very flattering to the 7 string arrangement.
    For him who struck thy foreign string,
    I ween this heart hath ceased to care;
    Then why dost thou such feelings bring
    To my sad spirit - old Guitar?

    Even so, Guitar, thy magic tone
    Hath moved the tear and waked the sigh;
    Hath bid the ancient torrent moan
    Although its very source is dry.

    The magnetic covers are a really cool idea.

    How do you like those Hipshot bridges? The guitar I'm getting built is going to have one (six string version).

    I don't know about the flat mount fixed bridges, but their contour trems are probably the best non locking bridge I've ever tried. Seriously considering one for 01 American Standard.

    Nice work.

    What's the deal with magnetic covers?
    Every love that made me lose my reasoning. Every chord that made my conscience ache. Every day spent counting hours. Well, none of them comes close to singing back a song inside my head.

    I remember calloused hands and paint-stained jeans, and I remember safe-as-houses self-belief.

    Pete's guitars are the most ergonomic I've ever played, both standing up and sitting down.

    He does a "Flamenco" back of the neck shape that is AMAZING!!

    Love the new headstock BTW.

    Here's a pic taken a few years back at Pete's booth at an international
    music show in Melbourne. That's our dear Golden Vulture making some noise!

    Had no idea you did 7 strings. Definitely piqued my interest.
    As was said earlier in the thread, the headstock looks great with the 7 string arrangement
