Apart from the obvious difference of price, what will be the differences between the custom shop blackie and the Artist blackie guitars.

I am not talking about the limited edition that soldou in hours, but the ones that are currently still available.

Thanks

With all this expertise, someone must know what the differences are??

With a more than$1030 price difference, you MUST get something extra surely??

The biggest differences are the routing inside, multiple pieces of wood for the body as opposed to two piece from the CS, tilt adjust is not on the CS model, and slight neck shape.

Hope that helps!

Mike

I own a custom shop one too ( the advantages of working at Kosmic sound here in western australia) gotta say when you play the artist series and then play the custom shop one you can tell the difference straight away, hence why i bought the custom shop one. gould you guys at the custom shop tell me who built it if i give you the serial number? :D
