The

Area-51 Roswell V  Custom
Built by hand by:
Black Diamond USA

About The BLEM:
During a recent photo shoot the guitar got bumped which created a tiny almost un-noticeable blem in the paint unfortunately these things happen so
I wetsanded and rebuffed the area and it looks great and you probably would never notice it But i pride myself at being Honest so i did my very best to photograph the blem (which was extremely difficult to capture on film) and posted some new pics of the area. (see pics)
.

*Personal note,
This guitar is a BLAST to play...No pun intended Lol!

**Please note-
In the demo video we used a rubber (removeable) tip protector as a precaution during filming.
It has a Nice Beefy/Chunky style neck with a slightly wider nut width than most utilizing an Original Floyd Rose R5 nut which is 1.750” instead of an R3 or R4 which are 1.6875"

Yes I am an Old school Star Trek Fan and a UFO Fan too
This guitar mimics the Star Trek Emblem, and i always loved the old roswell models years ago.

I build all my guitars by hand one at a time, and i always build each guitar the very best i can,
I Hand crafted this guitar slowly in a very detailed way, it was not built wuickly at all,
it is a very very unique guitar that not only looks cool but feels and plays great too.

I only built one of these to date and this one took over 2-1/2 yrs. to complete mainly because of all the details that had to be worked out.

I have tried to capture the multiple color shifts that this guitar has but while it's easy to see in person it is difficult for me to capture on film.
I tried to show a lot of different pics and angles to show everything i could, you will notice in some pics it looks teal and in some pics it looks blue or purple or a combination of these colors...that’s the way the Chameleon effect color looks and changes depending on the lighting.
I also tried to show pics of the guitar with the pickups led’s on and off.

It is extremely well balanced, made of solid Korina, with a set neck, Rosewood fingerboard with MOP and Abalone space themed inlays, it has all top notch hardware and electronics, nothing was spared to create this one-off guitar.
The neck is a wider (from E to E) neck but very comfortable feeling and playing, the neck is a Very Chunky Beefy neck and a solid feeling C-shaped neck.
If you like 1/2-baseball bat chunky style necks this one is for you!
It has a genuine Floyd Rose Locknut R5 like a lot of the old Kramers had which is a 1.75” wide locknut.

The finish i hand sprayed on this guitar is called "Starry Night" Chameleon flake, and has 3-colors (Teal, Blue, and Purple) that shift depending on lighting conditions with a clear Gloss finish.

The Pickups I wound and built by hand are my Black Diamond USA Pickups that i wind in my shop, they are "Nightprowler" pickups with OPEN COPPER COILS and are very HOT pickups that are potted but because they do not have any tape around the coils they are an amazing sounding pickup that i developed a few years ago, if they seem too hot then i just back down the volume knob a little.
The Nightprowlers" also have LED's built into the actual pickups that light up Blue when the rear rocker switch is turned on that runs on a
9-Volt battery.
The Floyd Rose Tremolo is an Original Genuine Floyd Trem and i Upgraded the block to an Original Floyd Rose Brass block. It also has a built in (adjustable) Trem stop so that you can have either a floating trem or a Blocked trem.

Please look at the specs and if you have any questions feel free to message me, i put a ton of work into this guitar and am very pleased with how it turned out.

I also customized a hardshell case (as i often do) to form fit this guitar because they do not make a case for it. (see Pic)
