Paint it a cheesy yellow and dress up in a rat suit for the live shows. That would be killer.

Thats handy, you can keep your beer in one of those holes (un-opened tough)
But wouldn't those holes fuck up the sustain a little bit?

rofl @ the ratsuit idea

I hate tilted pickups. I hate guitars with holes in them. If it had been normal with the Kahler I would have loved it.

hahaha, brilliant idea!

Eh, that guitar looks like shit, and can someone explain the point of tilted pickups? They just look like a routing job gone wrong.

I like the "Magenta" though:

You know. Of all the years I've been into guitars I haven't a damn clue what a tilted pup does. The strings would not be perpendicular (spelling ) to, and therefore have more lenth over, the magnetic flux field with a tilted pup but I don't know what it might do for the tone. Can anyone explain?

Its actually just for aesthetics. at least thats what i belive.some say its mellows out the tone a bit. but i call bullshit.

Everything on the neck is nice. The headstock and the inlays kick ass.

I don't like the rest of it though.

The purpose of tilted picks ups as far as I udnerstand is that the closer to the neck the pickup is, the more low end, and vice-versa. So with tilted pickups, the lower strings have more low end and the higher strings have more high end.

Dan Mongrain has tilted pickups in his new guitar. And his new guitar is fucking amazing. http://www.photomistress.com/view_p...Crypt31405Pound

About painting it yellow...

The holes are for lighter body weight. Zachary guitars orginated the idea i think.

If it didn't have the holes in it, it would be a beautiful piece of work.

Fucking retarded...

The reason EVH slanted his humbuckers was because the string didnt line up with the coil's, this was before the f-spaced humbucker was created. So I have NO idea why they slanted the humbucker, the holes are retarded.. that must be the thinnest sounding guitar ever, EMG and random holes everywhere.. talk about tone sucking.

The Boomerang inlays are nice though but the old Kahler behind the nut locking nut is retarded..

Poor kahler
