Found a little time between builds, repairs and set ups to work on a little @michaelleefirkins tune!
Been a big fan for years. Love his style!!
Sounds nothing like him but you get the idea
Practice practice!!

Gave the @officialibanezguitars rg8 string a good play in this morning
It plays and feels great with new @graphtechguitarlabs nut cut and fitted and @daddarioandco 8string set 10-74
The clarity and sustain is awesome

The really cool sounding Squire Telecaster came in for a full set up and clean up as it had been in a loft for 18 years or so!!
Needed a little tlc and minor spot levells on the upper register but sounds and plays like a dream now.

Got to pay homage to the masters now and then.
Lets face it this guitar probably wouldnt exist if not been inspired by Dimebag. Rest in piece sir
Really enjoying this guitar.
