    Wow. it looks alive almost. Incredible.

    Can you confirm if the roots are still attached to the tree or have they been removed?

    Thanks, also, any dents dings or anything and can you rate the build quality? I hear Siggery is patchy, as well as a pretty dodgy guy to deal with.

    Its absolutely flawless, no dings or dints.  the build quality is really good. I've hammered a blackmachine of a pals and it stands up very very well  As far as I can tell this is an early siggery (first one on his gallery to be precise the exif data from one of the photos dates it to April 25, 2012. 

    as for the dodgy comment I have no experience with the guy at all, reading up  it looks like he folded in 15 but lots of positive comments from the early days (when this one was produced) I read lots of things about delays and things but nothing bad on the final builds.

    Strangefan was I talking to you? I don't think so and I don't appreciate that ridiculously patronizing tone. I suggest you think before you type. Vettahead's reply was honest and spot on, and that's all I would ask.

    Dings or dents is a perfectly reasonable ask, and if it's public everyone knows without the need to PM, it also protects people daft enough to buy without asking (some actually do you know!)

    As for the build quality and Siggery's history, well that's pretty important. If you know anything about the situation you'll know that he effectively stole money from quite a few people and did dodgy acts like selling already paid for guitars off on Ebay once he started to go under, after stopping all communication with the guys who had paid for them. If you bought one of those it would be handling stolen goods and you'd get it taken off you by the police if the real owner saw it. Vettehead has now looked into it (if he hadn't before) and has seen this was the first Blackmachine copy that he built, so it's not going to be a dodgy double sold one. I've also seen different reports on the build quality, with some saying excellent, and some with different opinions. Again, important to ask because of this.

    Not really bothered if you appreciate the tone or not,  this is  a for sale ad,  where someone is trying  to sell  a guitar, by you putting your comments your effecting his chance   of a sale,  do you not buy and iPhone because of  the way the workers in China are treated? 
    A good guitar is a good guitar, 

    So I'll stick to my original post, think before you type. 

    Enough derailing I think.

    Establishing whether it was a good guitar or not, or possibly a fraudulent one was the purpose, your whole argument and iPhone comment is laughable and inappropriate, like your first comment and your typing/language use, coming steaming in on a thread where you have no relevant comment to make other than having a dig, and 0 positive input. Positive input from mine is that OP has identified the guitar as being an early one before the dodgy dealing and the massive delays as well as confirming condition. If you want to continue to discuss PM me, I agree that the initial reply from OP was all that was needed and I'm happy to delete my side of our discussion so OP can continue to sell now we know the answers to the pertinent questions.

    what are the pickups like on this? is it a purpose built shred machine or will it suit warmer and cleaner styles of playing as well?
    0reaction image LOL 0reaction image Wow! 0reaction image Wisdom
  • vettaheadvettahead Frets: 236
    there very articulate and surprisingly warm!  I was expecting shed type affairs but no there very warm.  I have a pair of 80's gibson pickups i can add into the sale if needed.
