Blackmachine

[pablopepper]

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'd be in for one!

because you cant have enough reversed headstock body carved goodness...

[Fretworn]

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

very nice looking axe, whats the price tag on these roughly Pabs ?

[pablopepper]

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.

[wokkaboy]

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

[stan]

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?

[Nickosaurus]

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

[stan]

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