Custom fanned-fret 7-string project (Parker Fly shape)

beautiful guitar!.....but...the neck pocket on the front of the guitar..is it just me or does that look really rough? could be lighting/angle making it look worse than it is..bult any comment on that area or closeup pix?

Overall EPIC guitar!

Question's right, you can see that gap between the neck and the body because the routing hasn't been done yet for the neck pickup, so where that gap lies will be the pocket for the neck pup.

oh of course!!, duh



So ya just awesome then

Bad lighting, not so good pic, BUT:

Sheer epicness, I can say

 

[Kroaton]

That turned out awesome.

A thin wooden pickup ring around the pickup would look great, to really blend all of it together and make it look uniform.

Thought about it, but I tend to like it better without any pup ring.

Was never a fan of parkers but this looks awesome mate!

Any neck pickup? If not, will the gap at the neck joint be filled?

Neck pickup is still to be purchased, it's going to be an Aluma X-Bar 3.5" and will be installed within a couple of months hopefully. Gap won't be filled as it's gonna be routed for the neck pickup. By the way, I tried the axe yesterday plugged in a Laney Ironheart amp and the tone is un-friggin'-believable. Very articulate, well-defined tone with all the notes audible even when playing more complex chord shapes with distortion added.

That is an incredible build and I absolutely dig the inlay! Major thumbs up.

[bluevoodoo]

Thx, it's definitely an awesome instrument that's incredibly fun to play and I really dig the Lace Deathbar too.

That's a beautiful instrument, and the recording kicks ass.
