This is a run that The Youtube guy The Tone King and Phil McKnight started, although Phil McKnight isn't apart any longer. Anyway, I liked their idea of created USA made custom type guitars based on 80's shredders. They do small runs of about 50 guitars at a time.
Not sure how it comes through the pictures, but this one has a vintage satin tinted neck and fretboard that is awesome. It's feels great to play, thin up around the 12th fret and thicker back towards the nut.
Usually I replace pickups in almost all my guitars, but these are really great. The neck is a true single coil, but really hot. They are covered, but they're passive pickups. The wired it up with a 250/500k pot so the neck sees 250k and the bridge sees 500k, no tone control. It's just the way I like it. I love the neck pickup so much I bought another one and put in one of my Caparison Horus guitars. The Bridge is strong and powerful and has good bite and girth, well rounded pickup.
Anyway, on to the porn:
