This is a serious custom guitar with powerful look and sound in a mint  condition
only used on my studio.I will recommend for fusion music, this is a very versatile guitar with heavy sustain and tone ,
can be very jazzy as well, this is not a cheap instrument.

SPECS:
The body is a Swamp Ash with a very interesting grain (oiled).The neck is a 5150 asymmetrical light Birdeye maple Musikraft USA
Bridge PU Dimarzio Tone Zone1-11/16 nut width R3 floyd nut.6105 medium Jumbo frets, black top markers and sides.Sperzel USA locking tunersSwitchcraft kill switch(NOS) Medium C shape slight asymmetrical.Thin clear shellac finish Sure Claw system (to operate the trem directly with an allen key)Oak Grigsby USA 5 ways super switchThe original Floyd Rose made in Germany...SCHALLER VERSION LOCKMEISTER
(as good or even better than the Floyd one in my experience)Big brass block (FU USA)32"Strap holder Buttons(Schaller)The trem moves back and forward not only one way like the old version of 5150.
The tone of this guitar is remarkable and loud punchy
with the 5 way switch you can experience many other sounds than a normal 3 ways guitar (hb,sc,parallels) and those NOS oil caps are TOP!
The first position is a neck HB is really full of tone and density, one guitar is enough to make a trio sound like a superband.
The split position it is very woody and warm with a lot of presence.The bridge HB position it is a full range of power with a diversity of dynamic and immortal sustain.

This is a custom guitar that can tell you how she was made... 
Not to be compared to the new branded guitars that people buy only because the name sounds familiar or because those brands used to be amazing in the past (not anymore i'm afraid you can get screwed even with top branded custom shops).The way this guitar has come into being and my preference is to pay a top luthier to assemble the guitar with the materials that i buy myself that way i know what it's all about and that it consists of top quality in all areas : the wood, the pickups, the cables, oil, paint(nitro), machine heads, etc...  the same way i know the woman i sleep with everyday!
For those who keep asking me way i'm selling my custom guitars??
Two answers ...
1) i invested a fortune on a vintage Classical Di Giorgio 1964 and i need to recover myself from the expenses.(im an electric guitar player but i used to be a classical 30 years ago and now on my 50s im getting back to classic.
2)I don't need a floyd on my guitars anymore, i stop using picks 2 years a go and im using tapping techniques and others to replace the floyd .
Wishing my answers are enough for you. 
At the back of the headstock there is a replica of one of the last Mozart rarest signatures (made by  JPF a french artist) topped with tun oil it is possible to remove.
HARD CASE (SKB route 66)included.
The photos don't do justice on this beauty, sadly i am not a photographer. This guitar is extremely attractive with a magnificent personality and sound! PLEASE CHECK MY OTHER GEAR.
