As promised, here's pics of the guitar I've been putting together: Modulus Blackknife neck, Warmoth Chambered rear-loaded body, flame Koa over African Black Korina, Alembic pickups with added Q. The only things left are a new nut and to have it plekked. Bill, tgo        | ||

Hi Bill looks good. Im building a strat with alembic pickups and electronics. Are those blackknife necks available new or is this a used one? | ||

Jazzy: Only used. Gould went out of business and even sold off his molds for next to nothing. I picked up the neck 8-10 years ago figuring I'd use it someday. The guitar appears to be VERY resonant. I'll be checking it out in a jam for the first time this afternoon with Wolf (Sonicus) and some others. Bill, tgo | ||

Very cool Bill! I'm curious what year the neck is if you know... You've got some nice tone woods to complement the graphite. Like I said in the other thread, I think you'll dig the graphite/activator combo... It plays with the octave and envelope filter really well.. | ||

Cool! I had a Blackknife for a while and liked everything about it except that the whammy bar stuck up too much, so I sold it. It was a very warm sounding guitar. | ||

I too can attest to the graphite alembic combo being exceptional. Play it in good health.  |
