Just wow.
I'd buy those over 99% of other guitars I've seen, and that's judging by the looks and build quality alone!
It looks like a true classic and you should be very, very proud of yourself.

So when are you going to quit your day job and do this full time?

The minute I find a suitable trem replacement...



Thanks again for all the enthusiasm. Feeling very pleased with myself :blush:

I'll see if I can rustle up some clips, though I'm warning you I'm a lot better at building them than playing the damn things.

Stunning (as ever). While I've somehow fallen out of love with the Starcaster in general, that has got to be the most elegant headstock EVER and to me, suits this body shape perfectly. Great stuff Ben.

Let me just confirm, here and now, that Ben's guitars play at least as well as they look. I've played MOTORIK and the Buickmaster in their original incarnations, and they were a joy. I maintain that MOTORIK is up there with the finest guitars I've ever laid hands on. (The Buick was wonderful too, but MOTORIK was so good, the green wonder couldn't help but fade into the background a little in my memory).

Now, god knows I'm nobody's idea of a virtuoso guitarist, but I do know a good guitar when I play one and Ben's work is second to none.

That's probably the most amazing guitar I've ever seen!! :?
They don't advertise for killers in the newspaper. That was my profession. Ex-cop. Ex-blade runner. Ex-killer.

Beautiful guitar - that headstock screams class. And the vibrato system ties it all together, now I'm going to look for one of those things!

The body shape even alone is a masterpiece. I wouldn't change a thing.
