RE: So who plays guitar?

After doing a little more research, I find out that it seems like Shack's carbon stuff was his easy shit. You should see some of his woodwork. OMG! Some of his instruments go for around $6000US new, but take a look and see why...
Mine probably went for around 4. I picked it up in Paris, used for just under 2. That was a steal.

The pickups he uses are the sickest. Except for the tuning pegs, I believe he has designed and built it all himself. Check out his bridge and saddle designs. This guy is serious about getting the whole instrument to work. He even throws on a 25th fret just to get the shit slapped out of it, so you don't wear out your playable range.
Hope that gives you a little more insight. At the end of the day, you just have to hear it.
