And obviously MUCH better at playing.

he is like a chuck schuldiner dont yeah think ?
Okay, here's some pics of the Xiphos for some of the fans here. It was bought buy some guy on another forum.
i'm going back to sam ash on thursday and ordering my Xyphos cuz i checked today and they don't have it in their store and they're not gonna get it. but i can't decide which color to get...i'm not a big fan of either the blue or the red really, but color doesn't matter that much compared to the specs.
Awesome. I was thinking of picking one up when I visit america sometime in the summer, due to the current interest rates. I have no idea how to get it back to england safely though. I Don't mind the colours as such, but I think the guitar would suit a satin finish better then a gloss.
Just use it as your hand luggage, i've visited my relatives in Spain some months ago, and i brought my guitar there, without any complications.

Hardcase? Because I have a feeling they wouldn't allow such a bulky hand carry such as a hard case, not to mention the fact it probably wouldn't fit through the X-ray machine
@Swabs what happened with the Caparison?
I've been looking at lot at the Dellingers recently, really nice guitars.. although a tad expensive I must admit.
If you're gonna buy a guitar you might aswell buy a normal bag with it, they cost like 20$ dollars max, and then just send the hardcase with the normal luggage and have your new geetar in the normal bag!
