NGD: Millimetric arrived - WITH VIDEO

samzadgan

After a long wait, the longest i've ever waited for a guitar, its finally arrived. First impressions...AMAZING!

the neck profile is somewhere between my aluminium neck and a gibson SG standard neck, flatter profile but with more depth, fits perfectly in the hand and makes playing so much easier and comfortable. The balance and weight is great, light but not too much and the balance is great, it just sits in the right spot when standing up and it never wants to shift position or neck dive. 

The build quality, it simply perfect; the man is a perfectionist. One thing i noticed which i've never seen before is all the screws are allen key screws, no phillips head screws to be seen. Each to the own, but i for one much prefer these over phillips head or flat head screws, I see these as having much more longevity. 

The bridge...its his own design, and it takes a little getting use to, but not that long. Its a really nice clean design, and simple to adjust. I thought i would struggle with adjusting string height, but actually, its the simplest one I've come across.

The Pickups...I have a hum bucker in the bridge and P90 in the neck...the perfect combo. The pickups are really good, a lot of sparkle and clarity. I think if i tuned to standard with lighter gauge strings i wouldn't like them. But with 13-62 strings and tuned to B, the highs are actually quite good, and add a lot of clarity to the sound in clean or distorted. I always prefer to have more treble and highs coming from the guitar, which i can easily dial out with the amp, rather than not having it trying to add it in artificially with the amp. So this is the right balance for me.

Anyway...pics...i have pics galore! (maybe a little overboard, but this guitar deserves it)

That looks great. I note it also fits in with your  life-aesthetic and matches both your amp *and* your house

Those fret markers are lovely - as is the guitar as a whole. Really nice.

Nice place, good to see the guitar doesn't mess with your feng shui.

Well cool.

That's awesome, congratulations. Can I play it and your Matamp if I ever come to Sydney? 

SteveRobinson

That really is very nice indeed.

thomasross20

It's certainly different!

That really is stunning. The way it fits perfectly with the rest of your house is fantastic .

Wowzers - stunning

Do you pay less tax for existing mostly in B&W ? ;-) 

It's a handsome thing that's for sure 

BloodEagle

That there is a nice looking guitar (and house!)

TTBZ

I wasn't sure about it when I first saw your old thread, but I actually really like that. Fits the rest of your rig and house perfectly!

UnclePsychosis

I don't say this lightly but that's genuinely the coolest guitar I've ever seen on this forum. 

Top of the class.

Glad you've finally got it, took long enough! I'm really starting to like the design now, although I think the colour scheme helps.
Not sure about the orange cable though, that's got to go.

Thanks for the complements...I'm thoroughly beyond satisfied with this guitar. I think I've reached the pinnacle of buying guitars...there's really nothing else I would want. 

And yeah, it's kinda coincidental that it matches our house and decor so well...I didn't consciously try to do it, except the white, but that's because I wanted it to match my amp. I think subconsciously I was drawn to the guitar because it matches my taste in design to start with. 

And @Loobs  if you make it down here...consider your request granted + beers!
