Wow! This is a really rare guitar! When I just put my hands on this babe, my first thoughts were like "totaly metal". Extreme offset V-shape and metal top - what can make you look better on stage than this?

It looks awesome - assymetric V shape with "can opener" cutout, similar to Dimebag Darrell's culprit model, unusual 3+3 headstock, and of course metal top and headstock cover. The overall view makes me understand why do people spend extra money for custom shop features.

Hello, world!

Hello everyone!

I always wanted to create a blog that is dedicated to guitar stuff and so this time has come.

And a little about myself now, right? My name is Ostap, I'm 23 and I live in Kharkiv, Ukraine. I play guitar for like ~8 years. Music is my passion, especially different subgenres of metal. I've got some friends that work in local musical instruments stores, and that means that I have almost unlimited access to numerous guitars, amplifiers & other stuff.



Yep, that's me on stage :)

My gear? Ok, as for now I have '96 Dean USA ML (my adorable baby), ADA MP-2 preamp and old Yamaha c-40 acoustic. I use this staff playing live and on recordings of my band Nu Fuel (post-thrash/groove metal). So, that's it for now I think.

See ya later!
