7 String Telecaster (s)

[teleofseven]

no i specifically wanted them to be that way

 

[ibanezRG1527]

looking sexy!

 

[teleofseven]

you know, i've been already playing with the idea of making another 7 string.

this would be something similar to a decibel, you know something ultra modern and classy.

having a 7 string really opens the world for new tunings and such. and i've always had a guitar per tuning, so another 7 string will be needed indeed.

 

[teleofseven]

soon soon. next update before sunday. i promise!

 

[TomAwesome]

That looks nice as hell so far!

 

[xHavokUndeadx]

sup dude. not to long ago schecter made this and it has to possibly be the nicest tele ive lies eyes on. its the Chris Garza signature model. its running about $900 if your looking for a quick fix with out building one.

 

[ozzman619]

yup that schecter chris garza sig looks like a beast, ive never got to play one yet but i would still buy it

Always wondered what the correct location. Does this matter?

i should imagine that on closed units like these tuners i would be fine, however over time (the one on the left) the cog will be pulled away from the wormdrive from the tension of the strings!

The frets combined with the markers looks like an oriental temple's roof.

 

[Jontain]

Wow I really like those inlays, very original! (or atleast i have never seen them done like that before!)

 

[BlackMastodon]

Those inlays are very cool! Really subtle, I like them!

 

[Wretched]

Nice inlays! Simple, unobtrusive and cool. Will have to remember these!

 

[GJDK]

Awesome inlay. What a good idea...

fretboard FINALLY done. it took me some 20hrs to get done. BUT this is the best fretwork i've ever done. i'm so pleased with it. i may start with shaping the neck today or sunday. tomorrow i'm going ice fishing.

here's where i'm currently at, with a mockup pickguard djentdjentdjentdjent

i'm unemployed atm, so i've now time and intrest to continue this project.

 

[teleofseven]

so.

i just finished shaping the neck. and it feels amazing. it's a nice D shape, but a little flatter on the middle. from the 3rd fret it's 22mm thick and on the 12th fret, 24mm thick. so not really a think neck, but not a baseball bat either.

it's just as thick as my other teles neck.
