That fingerboard, man.....I'd be perfectly content with every fingerboard I owned from here on out being pale moon ebony.

It very much puts me in mood to drink a cappuccino.

Heh! It's sweet and the contrast with the wenge is cool, too. Have to get some more pics!

Why is it called Ichabod Crane? Er, was he the guy that got his head cut off? (Digging deep, too lazy to gogle it.)

He's the guy from the Headless Horseman.

Y'all will surely think I'm nuts now, but I'm convinced, no matter what you say.

Didn't have a full set of 10-46 laying around yesterday, didn't expect the strings to be DOA - so I used a 9.5-46 Stringjoy set I've had for a couple of years. My gawd I had a helluva time chugging on them, figured something was weird with the bridge or "who knows". Also didn't think they sounded all that great, highs were weak.

Just finished putting my usual EB Paradigm 10-46 (I use 9-42 on a lot of guitars, too) and waa-laa, chugging away, brightness is there is spades.

I guess I just simply don't gel with Stringjoy. Or maybe I've just so used to the tension of EB P's? But I play 9's and 10's and shitloads of different scale lengths, generally with only the most minor of adjustment periods.

Not crazy at all, you're just used to a certain brand and tension. Have you considered trying 11's or a mixed set with heavy bottom since the scale goes to 26"?

I've had mostly negative experiences from the typical skinny/heavy, probably all in my head - but they always threw me for a loop, just felt off to me.

These 10-46 seem great, action is really low now, may have to raise it a bit.

Yeah only say mixed set because you have a mixed scale guitar.

 

[TSJMajesty]

The thing with a multi-scale guitar though, those lower strings already get to a higher tension (kinda the whole point), so if you use a mixed set, with light on top and heavy bottoms, you're increasing that tension even further.

That may be the finest looking headless horseman I have ever seen. Love it!

 

[Texsunburst59]

That’s awesome.

LOVE the fretboard.

 

[Warmart]

Here's a couple more pics, showing the fretboard and neck down low, hard to capture - very reflective spots!

Wow! That's sexy AF! Gives that Spice Melange a run for its money.
