Bird of Prey

This is Mastodon's Bill Kelliher with his current squeeze, Morgan Guitar Works' Bird of Prey model, basically a futuristic, custom made flying V guitar.

I'm always on the lookout for innovative features/ design in an electric guitar & the most intriguing highlight here is the BOP's tuners- they are Steinberger's locking units but set through the headstock face. This isn't quite fresh as Gibson's Firebird feature similar through-headstock tuners but they are from the rear. Unique, yes? But imagine having to tune while you have this guitar strapped-on...
