[Anquished]

Oh man I can't believe I've only just found this, can't wait to see it finished!

You and me both man haha. Interesting experience, not having instant buyers satisfaction....

 

[Marty666]

Gonna try my best to get something similar.

I wouldn't be opposed to something like these either by the way, man these are WILD. So anxious to see some haha.

12th fret inlay filled.

^^^Looks great! quality inlay work!^^^

 

[Surveyor 777]

That inlay looks amazing! Can't wait to see the final product.

Sweet! And if it helps, I've played a Swan 7 and it's maybe the most comfortable 7 string I've ever played. The weird shape body is really ergonomic, especially for sitting in the classic position. And the curves and bevels all fit nicely around how you sit.

Sounded fucking mean too

 

[DickyTripleD]

Definitely following this...

 

[Marty666]

Update time, picked my top. I wanted a 1-piece, flamed and swirly burl top to accentuate the organic Swan shape and I really feel this one will look fantastic once it is stained and glossed to bring out the depth. Spectacular piece of wood.

Stain applied, the gloss will make the color even deeper. They NAILED what I asked for .

 

[Defyantly]

Very nice!

 

[Marty666]

Insulator coat for the clear

 

[Defyantly]

Nice color!

Ready to finish the build if it weren't for the Floyd that hasn't come in yet...Man, I've never wanted to have something in my hands as bad as this.

Imagines the guitar being sold as-is just a body made of tape hahaha

Can't wait to see the finished product. I have a Shoggie on the way myself.

Haha, at this point I think I'ld take the tape-guitar . Usually years fly by but the last 12 months were anguish . What are you having built spec-wise? Build updates from others always pull me through the wait.

I've actually forgotten and it's only been a few months. lol
I think it's a swamp ash? multi-scale 7. Red burl top. All wenge neck (3-piece). Tangent luminlay fretboard inlays. Macassar ebony fretboard?
I'm having the contoured edges specially handled. I don't like natural edges much (like everything dark and woody) so we'll see how it turns out.

 

[Marty666]

Assembly time . Only thing Skerv forgot were the camo covers on the pups, working that out with them now. Otherwise think it's jawdropping .

That looks awesome! It might look better the way it is now?

I'm strongly considering ordering a Raptor 9 next year; need to go back and read this thread.
