So here it is. Finally.
The first Hackistalker C6 Peritus.
This guitar actually started as the prototype for the Hackistalker model, but after an order for another Hackistalker came in, this one got pushed back a little and became the second Hackistalker ever completed.
Still, this is the first C6 Peritus, and it turned into something pretty special.
