Custom RGA7

[kamello]

4 freakin' years?? Scant consolation I know but it is mighty fine looking!!

dude, I been playing guitar less years than that

anyways, would look awesome with gold hardware, like a Koa BFR

 

[poopyalligator]

Man, that looks awesome. A shame Chris Woods takes forever with stuff.

 

[Seanthesheep]

So Instead of necro-bumping my ancient thread I'll just leave a link to it here: http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/se...-just-ordered-my-custom-rga7.html#post1512426

I FINALLY after over 4 years got Chris Woods to finish my guitar (sorta) and had him send it off to have it finished by Marty Bell. Here's what the end result is after finishing.

I changed my mind on the color a bit after 4 years and I decided to go with gold hardware instead so don't mind that it's not 100% consistent with the original idea. I can't wait to finish this thing and rip some Pomegranate Tiger tunes on it!

That is fanfuckingtastic man. Marty does KILLER finish work. Bummer to hear about the duration...

Because the guy who made is quoted me 2-3 months and then lead me on for 4 years to the point where I stopped caring and never expected to see it. Finally one day after I got in his face which wasn't uncommon, he agreed to send me the neck and body. Unfortunately I'm not the only one this happened to. There's a long list of angry customers in his wake.

Hm. Who does that remind me of?

This is the same as the one from the thread? It seems to me that this has a way thicker top...

Anyways, it looks amazing, and has convinced me 100% that I need to lay a burst on my RGA121VF and sand the back and sides (an idea that has been kicked around in my head for an eternity).

Bit congratulations, your patience is legendary.

Part of the reason it took so long is cause he had to remake the body because he didn't follow my instructions correctly. So your right, that first one was incorrect due mainly to the top not being thick enough among a few other little things.

So does you getting a 7 mean we'll see some PT stuff on a 7 too?

EDIT: Nevermind, I've seen the 7 stuff. I was living under a rock until now!

I actually play a 7 almost exclusively on the PT album other that sign of ruin where I play an 8 string.

I feel your pain man. If memory serves me right, I think you're actually the one who called dibs on the second identical model he made of mine initially.
