I'm sure I will. In the meantime, the Canucks are already suffering in hell (as are all of us up here!)

Ah, but it's Canadian hell, so at least it's clean and the people there are polite.

That's how you do it - instead of worrying about going to Hell, you let Hell come to you.

Now just like Robert Johnson you could get a pact with the Devil..

Once Hell lands, you can refer to the day as a reference point, like "H +1".

I'm not sure which is more pretty, the guitar or the backdrop?

I love it! Thanks for the GAS.

Man, these guitars are so awesome!

Syo set the action so low that the guilar could play itself.. good thing too because I am totally unworthy.
I've only had a few hours to play but I plugged them both in to my Boogie and the sustain is incredible.

Did I mention the fret work? It is amazing! Absolutely no fret buzz with the lowest action you could imagine
-- with 10s even!. My one real Gibson has jagged frets that is no where near the quality of these guitars.
And these Bare Knuckle pickups are astounding...

I'll have to wait a bit to post more because I just watched Boston kick the crap out of Vancouver and I drank
(and BBQ'd) way too much but these are awesome guitars! I just wish I could call in sick tomorrow so I could
play these bad boys all day long... :dude

Hey Don, maybe this summer we can go on a bender with our Benders! Nice looking guitars, my friend. Welcome to Hell!

Wow! That's one sweet guilar Don!

Now you need to get a pic of her with burning riots in the background for a real hellish feel.

I really dig the sound of Sean's. I like the wide neck too, but the action was a bit too high for me.

I really dig the sound of Sean's. I like the wide neck too, but the action was a bit too high for me.

I hadn't even realized there was a riot until this morning. I don't have a TV so watched the game online but
stopped watching in the 2nd period. As for the riots, how shameful. I guess it shows just how thin a layer
civilization really is.

The action on both of these guitars is super low, way lower than my Epiphone Zakk Wylde LP. Also, this
larger radius makes it so easy to barre and bend strings. I'm so used to being heavy handed with my other
guitars but these Hell Guitars take just the slightest amount of pressure to fret. Incredible.

I played the Zero-Dot this morning and I'm really enjoying the neck pickup on the clean channel. I've been
working on Johnny Cash's version of 'Hurt' by Nine Inch Nails and it sounds so good (well, when I'm not
screwing up). :dude

One thing I've noticed about my Bender is how resonant it is acoustically. Of all my guitars, this one is by far the most resonant. You can pluck the strings when it's unplugged, and it will ring for days. Sometimes when I play it, I swear I can feel the notes in the wood. I've never owned a guitar the felt like that before this one.

Wow, you Texan's don't mess around huh :) So knowing you have a Bender and a ZeroDot, should I assume you have a Number 2 on it's way?

Like I tell my wife, I don't mess around when I stop messing around! :) Yes, I've ordered the #2 as an early birthday present. I ordered the one in Maple.

Hell is in San Francisco! So it will most likely be in Washington (where I had it shipped) on Monday or Tuesday. Can't wait! In the mean time, I'm making a lot of noise (and irritated neighbours) on my Bender! :dude

This Hell #2 is a bending machine! Wow, this is the first guitar that I can really bend well with my pinky (I normally keep the slow cousin out of the mix). What a fantastic guitar! I'm loving it!

I really need to get something cool down as a demo too. I'm uncovering all kinds of cool sounds playing around with the pickup mix. Currently enjoying playing chords in position 4 with the tone around half way into a crunchy setting on the amp, and then soloing over it in position 5 for mellow lead, or position 1 for screaming solos. Kick on my SHO pedal at around 9 o clock and those screams become the wailing of the metal gods (Humbucker) or fired up dirty blues rock (position 1).

Edit: I'm talking about my ZeroDot here....
