Nice tune. I mean, really nice. You possess a strong sense of melody, that's what takes you apart from a bunch of technical metallurgy-related genres. Nicely arranged as well.

As for the axe, Semyon makes really nice guitars, his attention to detail is second to none. That being said, just a little piece of advice, if I may. Frankly, I don't find Fokin pickups very much appealing. Thery're not bad, it's just that they tend to sound a bit more sterile and simplified. Give the axe a pair of nice hot PAFs and see what happens.

Great music and a great guitar overall!
 
The eye glass image as a marker at 12 fret is interesting, Tim Pierce might be using that tho, it's on his clean boost pedal from J Rocket.
