7 string headless guitar?

[Xion]

Has anyone ever seen one? After doing a search I wasn't able to come up with anything.

A 7-string Steinberger? Never seen one. I've seen a baritone 6 though.

You can always get one built, but currently there are no production model 7 string guitard.

There really wasn't a bridge / hardware for one unless someone had some stuff custom milled before this came along:

I play one. It's a custom of my own design.

Is it the one in your avatar? Link wouldnt cooporate for me. I think I'm gonna seek out a custom, but if I do that I might as well make it an 8.

That one worked, cool body to it too.

like many things, i think it looks even better from behind...
now i just need to see what use i can put my solidworks training to use to see if i can concieve a headless bridge that can be made in our home workshop... or my course's racing team's for that matter...

Status Graphite Status Graphite. The finest hand-made graphite basses and guitars. Made in England. is also another one to look to for a custom "L" clone of the Steinberger fame. Got really lucky and got to try out a friend's XL-6string clone from the SteinbergerWorld forum. Another person who was thinking of creating a completely carbon graphite guitar (6 and 7-string) was Phil Langley of Langley guitars, who looks like he's taken down his website... Found some info on Jon Bondy's site... http://www.jonbondy.com/Graphite.htm Not sure if they are still in production or not... Sorry, that lead may be a bust.

Just had to do a bit more reading... seems that Phil sold his business to Jon a bit later in the page.

Yup they are. And the whole system is modular, usable as a trem or fixed bridge and for as many strings as you want

Wow, that seems a little confusing but definately awesome

Basically the individual bridge units have a string saddle/tuner and can be mounted on different baseplates to be a trem or fixed bridge and can also be used in fanned fret configuration as a fixed bridge.

I would love to hear more about how they perform. They look amazing, and the modular aspect is excellent too!
