It looks to be black on the photo, but it is actually a really nice, dark red.
That aged cherry finish is so good. We have one at work that looks black in most light but is super deep cherry in reality.

Just put a Bare Knuckle Painkiller in my V.
Will reserve judgement until I've played it at gig volumes but thus far I dig it a lot.
Also polished the frets and the fretboard while I had the strings off and it plays so rad.

Damn, cool shit, I'd love to try one of those (axe but also the pickup). Looks like the guitar version of an HM-2. Also I hadn't realized you were a lefty player.
edit: Saw this (mid-'70s) on the used market today, like a 6 hr drive away. Can't afford it of course, but

the only impressive thing there is that homeslice could stand to get that close to Zakk without dying from his infamous effluvium (he notoriously doesn't wash/change clothes for entire tours).
