    Default Rare bird on the bay...MODULUS

    A freakin' Blackknife. Earlier version before the uber-exotic neck through versions, but still. These just don't come up, let alone at...a pawn shop! I wish I had an unlimited guitar budget!

    I think Bob Weir every time I see any Blackknife version; he was fond of them.

    Hmm an interesting guitar... and headstock! But what sort of tremolo is that? Looks like a Floyd, but not like any Floyd I've seen before

    A freaky LFR with spring-loaded covers over the saddles. Wonder what's up with that...

    I just wish I had more of the toy fund to burn, but I'm about to switch my amp stuff around...again. I'd love just to have one. At least I could rest assured the neck wouldn't be warped, LOL. Those graphite necks could be used as weapons.

    Damn, that thing is nice. I love the body color and the neck looks freaking cool.

    That trem sure looks like some sort of Synclair.

    Cool looking piece I never new existed.

    Cheers guys. I may have to try and find out exactly what that trem is. It looks like a Kahler behind nut string lock I have on one guitar, so I've been wondering if it's for Allen key-less string changes. If so, where do I sign up? lol

    Lol, no I mean the lever system on the tremolo look like the lever system employed on a Kahler nut I have. From what I've found, it seems Yamaha liked to use levers on their Floyd Rose tremolo to help with string changing. Help to reduce the need for tools. Good idea imo
