Not for me, but the djent kids are going crazy for these and their many clones (Skervesen, Ormsby etc) and I think it has potential to be a big seller. Blackmachine B2.

Flat top, figured veneer, binding, reverse headstock, hardtail, double humbucker, simple controls, chamfered back.

I don't think they have enough strings for Djent.

You can still buy them from the guy who builds them for around 4 or 5k, but there's a 3 to 5 year wait list. They go second hand for 6 to 10 grand! If you haven't guessed yet, these are the inspiration for the Ormsby Hypemachine.

wow thats alot of money !
yeah as soon as I saw the headstock and general layout could tell it's a hypermachine without the multi scale frets

wonder if you could mod an IB , oreven a Strat kit for this. After seeing what Maxxy can do with a Strat, anything is possible...

Personally, the real deal versions of these are over priced, or am I missing something?

Hype + revered builders + exotic woods = pricey

I'd be down for a BM build. Would be pretty cool. Agreed though, if you thicknessed an IB down you could probably manage one of these through modding. Not enough length on the headstock to pull off the aggressive point though

you could add timber to the headstock , reshape and paint...

Yep, not too hard really! Maybe even add in a couple of dowels for added strength!

agree Pest, I think it could be done, perhaps not by me, but enough skill here for someone to make one

Actually no it is pretty easy if you think about it, there isn't that much wood that needs to be added on to the headstock! Dowels aren't necessary, but can be added to strengthen the joint.

maybe even a scratchie, the body is essentially flat....

Yeah making this as a scratchie wouldn't be that hard at all compared to other shapes! I'll see you and Gav in the Overlord Lounge tomorrow for sure!

I'd definitely be keen on a kit like this. I'm planning a build with a very similar shape actually, but I personally dislike the headstock; just isn't to my taste.

Perhaps take this kit, give an option for normal or reversed heastock, ebony and/or rosewood fretboards. I'd be stoked for a non-trem bridge IB/similar shaped kit!
