    Swelling's going down a little.. Still pretty sore though. Wisdom teeth are for cavemen :/
    Whatcha up to? Looks like someone snagged that FGM :eek:

    Oh yeah, expect many pictures bro!!! :wub: Unfortunately Ron does not have time to work up a full CNC re-design for a 7 due to his backlog of 6'ers (he could easily stay gainfully employed as a luthier for the rest of his life with just 6'ers, no doubt there) and all the Custom Shops like Schecter, Fender and ESP requesting him for custom inlay work. I've been asking him about it even now and then but he's just too busy. Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll slow down in a year or 10. :D A 7-string from him would absolutely rule, I'd sell my Carvin to get my hands on one. :yum:

    Yeah it definitely will be. :wub: Specs on my Sherman are as follows:

    - Ribbon Mahogany body
    - The same piece of flamed maple that went into Letchford's 8 for the top
    - 7-piece neck (curly maple, walnut and wenge IIRC?)
    - Curly ebony fretboard
    - Bare Knuckle Nailbomb 7 set
    - OFR7 trem (w/ Tremol-No)
    - Graphtech Ghost OFR7 Piezo system (first ever! :flex:)
    - Planet Waves locking tuners
    - Dunlop Strap locks
    - All hardware is gold (bling bling! :lol:)
    - Natural finish on the mahogany back, purple with a lightly black-bursted edge for the top!

    Think that's about it.... :D Going to be killer, Mike does amazing work with his finishes too so I'm itching to see how it looks after it comes out of paint! :metal:

    Whats been happening dude?? Dont know of any good luthiers around melb...but ill ask the boys...they should come up with someone. Is your mate wanting a 7 made?
    HighGain510
    Cool man! :) It's still going to be a while... just sent him another $1K towards it so I should see some more progress now. The delay was on my end due to paying off that school bill. :( Shouldn't be long now, maybe a few more months? :D His work is awesome, can't wait to see how the purpleburst finish turns out! :wub:

    What's good shredmaster funk? :wub: Not sure if I mentioned it when you got it but congrats on your UV! You have that baby looking mighty pretty! :metal: :D
    Ryan
    Awesome, that sounds like the way to do it too! That baby's gonna shred faces when youre done with it. Any plans for the UV7BKs pickups? Or are ya satisfied with the blazes?

    Haha, somehow I ended up writing on the wrong spot...my browser has been acting all sorts of weird.

    Haha thanks man. I don't think I could ever get rid of it though. It's one of the best playing guitars I have.

    And if you think that's neat, just wait until you see what I did with my Xiphos ;-)

    Had i not busted their balls everyday it wouldve gone no where...literally!! They really wanted me to put it through claims but i wouldnt budge. No wasnt an option for them. Had to find it, had to deliver it to me. No questions. Then it was a trail of trying to find the guy that signed for it, then it was them dragging their arse about who should pay for the shipping to me. Dude, its been fucked up real bad. How would you handle it man? You would just about lose your mind.
    Hey if you get the job, my shout!!!!! Deal?
