We stain the Ulv guitars with a color called Havana Brown and put wax on top of the alder body.
You might want to go easy with that studded heavy metal belt unless you don't want to go for that popular road-worn look.
The pickup selector of both Ulv 8 and Ulv 6 is in the push/push volume knob.
...I never was a fan of push/pull as it, in my book, takes too long and is confusing to a simple guy.
Incredibly sturdy, clever custom Freak Guitar Lab hard case.
Made by Swedish company Wareco
