perfectcandor's Harley Benton Live Rig
My Harley Benton Dullahan, the first headless guitar I got. In a very cramped pit playing for a musical, the trombone player punched my Jazzmaster headstock mid-song. Upon going out of tune just enough to hear, I realized one of the many advantages of headless guitars that I would like to have that night to such an extent I decided I wanted to try a less expensive alternative. This has a few upgrades, though mostly cosmetic, and I did in fact leave the stock Roswell pickups as they actually sound great in all settings with the 5-way switch. Most of the wear is natural due to the time I spent with this instrument out and about, but I did help the bit up on the bevel for higher fret access as once it started coming through I thought it could look even cooler ;) Anyway with the different pickup looks playing into the dual hardware color scheme and wear on a headless guitar, I'd say it looks pretty neo-future-punk and I couldn't be happier with a "budget" alternative guitar.

Fantastic value headless
I love the 5 way switch. Stock pickups are strong and like chameleons, sound great clean and can have volume and tone rolled back for a more vintage tone but are hot enough to do modern metal. Super comfortable first headless model.

Not perfect for Strandberg 8s but works
I think Gator cast their net a little wide, but it works. The neck support doesn't really work for 8 string Strandbergs super well but they tried to fit every number of string of every headless model with a body so I'm not too surprised. That being said, it is nicely adjustable and still works as the fretboard pad up top gives and my Strandberg still fits. It is very protective, light for a hard case and looks good. Looking forward to using this for my more serious travels.
