OK, it’s left-handed. And it’s a guitar. But otherwise, I think Tim wouldn’t be able to resist. It’s a Fernandes Vertigo X (a bit like Liberty X but not as high up). Have you ever seen anything so black? I kindof lose focus just trying to look at it. You couldn’t adjust the volume in mid-gig, surely?

  I thought you’d mention the gloss. A pity, also, that they wouldn’t stump up the extra for a good, ebony fretboard. Then it would be a complete, naked singularity. Stephen Hawking could write a chapter on it.

  Wow, want one! It’s black in all the right places (although the finish looks a bit glossy 😀
  
  You get used to finding your knob in the dark, at least I did:

  Looks like (as on mine) the back of the neck is maple but its a fair sacrifice for playability.

  apart from the obstructed fret access, it looks better suited for a right hand player, if a lefty was holding it, then to me it would look odd.
  Nice looking guitar though.

  The Vertigos they made for that chap who plays in Rob Zombie’s band (I forget his name now) didn’t even have a volume control – just an ON/OFF switch.
