I primarily played an 8-string before going VG, so I made a patch to play my older songs, exp1 bends the tuning from standard to Drop E so that's been fun figuring out how to navigate my phantom limbs haha

The guitar in your avatar pic looks like a badass.

Thanks man, I built it from cheap lumber around the gk3 and an ibanez neck I had lying around

Where'd ya get the bridge & headless end-cap thing on the neck? Would you recommend it? Did you cut that headstock off yourself? Scary to think about, cool to behold.

yeah, I just sawed it off barely long enough for the truss rod and bent the truss rod cover ~90° to keep serving it's purpose.  The locking nut was already on it for a floyd and I've been very satisfied with this bridge: http://www.headlessusa.com/jcustom-fixed-bridge
Stays in tune really well, I love it, and there's no way I could afford a headless that plays this well otherwise
