7string build thread

Oh, I forgot to mention, I blessed the pick ups before I sent them to you. That's probably why

LOL

i havnt even put the shielding tape in the cavity yet....
i was suprised...

i need a new push pull pot though....
although im still tempted to go volume/3way

DId you remember to turn on the amp?

LOL
man you should hear my amp hum on its own

just had a quick play...
feels decent...
fret ends arent bad...
action is... decent....
neck is imo thin....
B is floppy....
push/pul pot is dodgy....
jack is very nicely placed....
i smudged sharpie on the fingerboard (will clean that off)
pickups could do with some height adjustment (will do that when i get my hands on some more foam)

my pup routs ill be tighter next time...
the stew mac ones are all dodgy... oversized crap... thats what i used to make the 7 string pup templates...

wow, that guitar looks insane! I would go for a hipshot bridge or a trem though...

still, it looks incredibly nice, I'd like to have a custom 7 but I don't have the skills to make one, maybe one day... anyways your guitar is sick man!

cheers

its not my main 7...

as for the bridge, its a hardtail, it works, its clean, its nice on the palm, it intonates, and its well screwed to the body, what more could you ask for in a bridge.. doesnt have to have a big brand name on it to be great.


as for the skills to make one....
its not rocket science, break it down into stages and do it... haha
