hhnice!
Hey guys,
Some of you may remember the last build I posted in this thread which my brother in law very kindly built for me.
Well after completing his latest build I asked if he would be willing to build me a 7 string. I can't remember if I covered it in my last thread but he's interested in eventually launching his own brand and these builds are for general experience, experimental ideas and most importantly, for fun.
This was his latest build and after seeing it, I was sold on what I wanted my 7 string to be.
I basically said, that - but 7 strings, longer scale and a single Seymour Duncan Omega pickup.
So, here we go - build pics!
Swamp ash body with a maple top. Originally we decided on going with a plain maple cap as I wanted to go with a similar finish to his 6 string but the supplier sent him flamed maple by mistake. After seeing the flame, we decided it was way too good to pass up.
Ebony fretboard and padauk neck. We changed the head stock design ever so slightly.
Hipshot Ibby replacement bridge.
A few shots during the carving stage, the hole is for a single volume knob with push-pull for coil split.
Now here is where it gets awesome - Since I'd abandoned my idea of just a plain walnut finish I said "go crazy, do whatever you want".
At this point I had to scoop my jaw back up from the floor. He's planning on sanding back to blend the horn a little better and the orange to yellow but already I'm stoked AF.
Unfortunately that's all I've got at the moment folks. I will update this thread as more pictures are sent to me!
