GODSPU custom arrives!

I've been looking at getting a custom stick for a while now and was up in the air about getting someone to build one for me or just doing it myself. After a little research on the tools that I'd need just to build the case alone I figured it'd be a lot cheaper to just have a custom built.

After reading Rekano's review of his custom by Godspu I decided to get one done by him. First thing I gotta say is working with Godspu was great. He was very responsive to e-mails (I've got an 80 message long dialog with him sitting in my inbox) and was very willing to work with me to make sure that I would be able to get everything I wanted on this stick.

Godspu delivered everything I wanted and more. The case is absolutely beautiful, with a clear bottom which reveals some of the neatest wiring I've ever seen. The finish was impressive, I'd initially asked for a satin finish on the wood but Godspu felt that he "couldn't let that wood go out in satin finish" so he polished it and it looks amazing.

To wrap it all up, the stick works really well. I was able to consistantly pull off 10 strings in Tekken 5 and Yoshimitsu's 4A:A:A:A:A fairly consistently. The stick feels great and works great, for anyone who might belooking into getting a custom I'd definately recommend talking to Godspu.
