Hello all
Well, finally I can announce my new endorsement with the Dutch guitar manufacturer Bo-El. Huub Boel is the person responsible for the guitars, he designes them himself and builds them too, in cooperation with the factory from Shine in Korea (using their machines).
Last year I got a letter from him, telling me that he wanted to offer me an endorsement for his products. I met him shortly after that and we discussed everything from there. He asked me what I like in a guitar, and what I wanted it to be. I explained him all of it, and he started to design the prototype. When the prototype was built he invited me to his little shop in Zutphen (Netherlands) to try the prototype, we discussed some adjustments from there, and now I have the adjusted prototype at home.
I tell you guys one thing: This is the best guitar I ever played on ! I own a universe, Jem and RG series from Ibanez, but this guitar blows them all away. In sound, playability and tuning (it is tight as hell)
Here some pics:
This guitar (called the MC-7 series) will be produced soon. The retail version will be available from august 2005 at huub boel comany. Visit their website to know more about these guitars (the website is only in Dutch for now, but I know he is working on an english version also)

Some specs about this guitar:
7-string, two humbuckers (Bo~El HB- SD /7) splittable and phase switch. The neck is in Rosewood with a Tree Of Life (TOL) inlay. Jumbo frets. carved solidbody, floyd rose tremolo, All acces neck/body joint.
Here is a little video I recorded with my webcam yesterday with the guitar:
