    Default Carvin Holdsworth Signature Series

    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 Researchâ„¢ 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.
