Wowzers, VERY nice! Dig the odd figuring of the top too, that's some tasty quilt action!

NOMS! Sounds tasty man, congrats! Looking forward to the thread!
Epic win! What finish? I need pics! 
Yeah? I played a Torero recently and it was fucking sweet.
Thanks Kyle! So jealous of those beauties you have as your profile pic by the way!
Yeah the string change is to a lighter gauge, if I had gone heavier than the stock strings (which would be ridiculous IMO
) the nut would have needed to be adjusted.
I have to check the exact string gauge at home, it was the OLDER (as in I don't think they sell them anymore) D'Addario 7-string set minus the high E string, set for Drop-B. No changes needed to the stock nut on this one fortunately. 
I know we've had the Derek Hess discussion before, but I just noticed your avatar and that print happens to be hanging on my wall. Good taste duder.
Thanks so much for the link, I'll give these guys a call tomorrow. Only 5 sc's were ever made with this color?! wow. I hope it won't be more than 4k lol.
hahah thanks man I appreciate the support!

hey thanks man! Nah i downsized a lot since I got laid off. So just kept on to 3 custom shop ESP Explorers. The rest had to go.
You'll have to widen the neck pocket cut though, because the Warmoth stuff is Fender spec(2 3/16") versus the Charvel(2 1/4"). It's not that hard, or that much to take off.
Thanks!
The pickguards are from Warmoth. They do the floyd cut, and pretty much anything else you want, to a point. I did drill the volume/tone controls myself though, because I didn't like the positions they offer.
You SHOULD be sorry!!!! j/k
Mine is MIA, but I've heard the MIJ ones are just as good (if not better.) Mine has pickup rings, which means they're height-adjustable. The ones without pickup rings are still height-adjustable, just not as easily; usually there's foam or some springs under the screws to give limited adjustment.
Honestly though, it's an incredible guitar. It's #2 for me after the Warmoth 7/8 Strat, but only because it's a different tonal flavor (more top end and "snap") than the Warmoth. I need to get new pickups in the new blue Strat before I can really figure out where that one fits in the collection. -
