Hey guys
I've been wanting to purchase a 7 string explorer for a long time now and any that come up (for sale) either don't tickle my fancy or are too far away for the owner to post. So I've come to the conclusion that I will just "attempt" to build/piece one together myself. And i say attempt very loosely as this would be my first. Building one from scratch is purely out the question for me I'm not a luthier and I'm not gonna try (don't have the room, tools or craftsmanship for it).
My basic specs are:
7 string
Explorer shape
Single bridge pickup routing
1 volume knob
bolt on neck
reverse headstock
My questions to you guys are the following.
Where can i purchase a good wood quality explorer shape?
Will the company have the routings/pots drilled and routed?
Where can i buy a 7 string baritone (27") neck with reverse headstock? (maple neck, ebony fretboard)
I think thats about it guys. I hope you can help me out or at least set me on the right path!
