    Ash & Maple Carved Top Superstrat Builds

    A while ago I posted a thread (http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/showthread.php?t=307792) asking the forum what I should build next and the winner was an RGA style carved top and since I had enough wood I thought I might as well build 2 almost identical guitars at the same time. Unfortunately...

    Imgur has blocked images from displaying on SSO

    I noticed all my old threads were missing their images so I contacted Imgur.com who I used as an image host and they replied as follows. Which sucks. So just a heads up to anyone who noticed their pics weren't working.

    Hywel's Home Depot Challenge 2016 Build - Semi Hollow Baritone

    I started planning this build (as a 25.5" scale 6 string) since XxJoshxX posted the feeler thread back in November 2015 but it wasn't until I heard the demos of the PRS SE 277 Semi-Hollow Baritone that I knew I needed one in my life. I just didn't want to pay much for it so this thread could...

    DIY Fanned Fret Pickups - How to slant most passive pickups for multiscale guitars

    The is a little project I've been working on while I'm in between builds. I built this multiscale 8 string last year to try out fanned frets and 8 strings to see if I liked them. Since I wasn't sure I would, I only put in a set of RG8 stock pickups. The bridge sounded pretty good but with a...

    NGD - Homemade Multiscale 8 String

    Hi everyone! I've never really ventured into this end of the forum as I still find 7 strings a bit much sometimes but since a lot of the stuff I want to learn to play these days involves an 8th string, I thought I'd better make something to at least try it out. The objective of this build was...

    Cheap-ish Fanned 8 String Build

    So I decided I needed a multiscale 8 string, even if only to chug 0's. The only problem is that the only time I tried one (an RG8), I lasted about a minute before laughing at the sheer size of the fretboard and putting it back on the shop wall. Hence, I don't want to spend a lot on a guitar I'm...

    Ultra Lightweight Headless Travel Guitar Build!

    So this is build 2 of 2 (1 of 2 being here) and it was born out of the realisation that it's really difficult or expensive to take a full scale, normal guitar on a plane to Aberdeen. Initially I set about faffing around in Illustrator again, prototyping ways of making a very compact and light...

    Black Limba, Koa & Wenge 7 String Build

    So, I've had fairly serious GAS for koa tops, limba bodies and wenge necks for a while. Since my last build was going well at the time, I started planning a 7 string using all of them. Unfortunately exams and a placement in Aberdeen for a couple of months slowed things down but it gave me plenty...
