I figured I'd also appeal to the lazy and link to some photos I took of some fun gear touristy visits I made to the B.C Rich/HHI/Kustom/Spector head office, Schecter Head office and custom shop, and the Fender Artist Relations office.
Anywho, hope you all enjoy I certainly did!

As of mid April they only had 3 working prototypes of the Schecter amps. The cabinets were all ready for production already though.

Custom Moniker Telecaster
Last but not least, here's a custom Moniker Telecaster I picked up as well! 24.5" scale, 22 fret, maple fretboard and a custom image. Seymour Duncan SH5 in bridge, Hot rails tele pup in neck and an additional coil splitting toggle installed. Sounds huge and a really, really cool well rounded versatile tele!
They are priced really well and their online build creator tool is a lot of fun (plus their turnaround time is 4 weeks!)
