HNHD! (Happy New Hell Day)
Oh, and...
Happy Valentines day to me...lol. Got my Zero Dot today. It was well worth the wait. Been trying since last summer. What a GREAT guitar. The Bare Knuckles pups are awesome. Lots of the good Strat quack. The unfinished neck is smooth as silk. I also love the locking tuners, they too work very smoothly. Would like to thank Michael for putting up with my constant bugging him about are they ready yet, are they ready yet, are they ready yet. Was a real pleasure doing business with him.

So, I'm just curious... I've just been waiting patiently for an announcement of price and availability. Should I be contacting Syo directly? I'd hate to find out I've missed out because I haven't been chasing. (yes I'm on the mailing list)
Couldn't hurt....Give it a try.
Congratulations, riverrick! I have a Hell Zero Dot too -- was playing it this morning, as a mater of fact -- what a great guitar!
I'm curious bcdon does yours have a serial# on it?? I couldn't find one on mine. Was wondering if these first shipped are just prototypes or something.
No Rick, you received the production model but I apologize for the confusion. When I went to the factory to inspect the latest run, I discovered that the serial numbers they had put on the guitars had the identifier of the factory (XXX111201 etc.- X's being the factory's initials) instead of for Hell (which would have been more like-- HG111201). As I am trying to avoid (for as long as possible) revealing which factories make our guitars, I had them removed (they are decals). Unfortunately there was no time to have my serials replaced because of the impending Chinese Spring holiday which would have delayed the shipment another 4 weeks. That's the short of it anyway.
Well, Ch0, you have indeed been patient for which I humbly thank you (with apologies). You are also welcome to contact me directly anytime and I will take care of any enquiry and/or purchase you may care to make. I am nearly ready with the store and an announcement is forthcoming, but you are absolutely welcome to jump the queue. Ironically it is easier for me to ship orders right now than it is to accept them. I have a shipping person but all of the design, back-end and financial part of the store are up to me, for now. I am in the middle of removing myself from our main business (which is stringed instruments- violin, cello etc), which will give me 100% of my time to attend to Hell. I am certainly looking forward to it!
And back to you Rick.-- HNGD!
Happy NGD, but I see no pics!
I fixed your links for you. Happy New Guitar Day!
Dang, it looks like I'll need to sell my Squier CV 50's and get a Zero Dot now!
Beautiful! Congrats, man!
That's a purty strat-type for sure, but the Bender is way more my alley. If I won in a lottery I'd get one over any Gibson or whatever out there. Likely would change the pups to EMG tho

Yeah my first instinct was also a Bender. It's a nice looking guilar for sure. I just figured that it was a little too similar (hard tail, dual HB, bottom mount jack) to my Maton for me to impulse buy it
My MiK PoS plywood Squier on the other hand could absolutely be replaced, (I think I'll hand it down to my 8 yo nephew) with a sexy new Zero Dot. The best part is I just know I'd have eventually put a HB in the bridge, and Boom! The Zero Dot has one already
