Carvin Holdsworth Signature Series

[Robert]

I would not mind one of these.

The Holdsworth Signature Series Headless HH1 was designed to meet Allan Holdsworth's exacting requirements for tone, playability and weight. By designing the guitar without a headstock and with a chambered body, the weight drops down to less than 6 pounds, while the overall length is just 30.5 inches. A single H22 bridge pickup makes this guitar sing!

Standard Features:
- Premium chambered alder body & Eastern hardrock set-in neck
- Headless design
- 25.5" scale ebony fingerboard with white dot inlays
- 24 jumbo frets
- semi-flat 20" fingerboard radius - H22T bridge humbucker
- Master volume and tone
- JCustom Headless Research™ hardtail bridge standard; JCustom XS Trem optional

LIST PRICE: $2,599.00
DIRECT: $1,229.00
SALE: $1,129.00

He also likes a baseball bat for a neck size. Pretty cool looking guitar though. That would certainly keep the shoulder fresh.

I gotta tell ya, that guitar looks more Holdsworth-like than the models with headstocks. I wouldn't turn it away if one showed up on my door. I do, however, like the Fatboy models a little better, though, because of the unique construction and it takes regular strings.

Looks pretty cool. Although I think I like the strat-shaped Steinberger guitars better. The Carvin is a nice alternative.

Here is a NAMM video:

I think the amp sounds kinda fuzzy though.
