The Black Sheep is one of my personal favourites as a wicked and cool concept at the same time. The idea of “Tele with Bigsby” is been out there for long time but I think this one takes it to the next level. Meaning P90 on the neck pickup and custom made bridge plate that has both options the string-thru-body and loading from Bigsby. This is also the only model that is made three pieces. These cool and totally different kinds of artists are Eric Bazilian, Rane Raitsikka and Jouzas Milazius. Check those guys out!
