    What's only struck me now is the genious of a headless horseman steinberger is that the steinberger itself is headless. Pure poetry there.

    Pumpkin Knobs are cool. And....... this got me thinking.... What would be the coolest knobs for a guitar?

    I mean Knob knobs would be kinda funny in a kinda funny way but I'd eventually get real paranoid about them. Nipple knobs probably not so funny... Mushroom knobs? Milky mint knobs? Spliff knobs? Its harder to think about it than you think :D

    How do you know it's an EMG? Doesn't look like an EMG to me.

    Fish-head, get rid of that sig. It's against the rules.

    Normal Steinberger GMs do have EMGs and those ones on the headless horse man guit do look to have a completely flat surface so more than likely ..........

    PS I do like that bat guitar but isnt it some kind of PhotoShop jobbie ?

    Just looking at them and they don't have the indented EMG logo in the bottom corner though. At least, not that I can see. Could just be a pickup cover.

    Ed Roman has a very "interesting" reputation.

    Myabe knobs that shock you when you touch them(you'd be able to turn the shock thing off) but it would be a nice little gimmick. I think dice knobs look cool on certain guitars.
