First off, I'm new here so I'll say HI to everyone.
My name is Scott and I'm from Sydney, Australia and I play in an original Progressive band called Disposition and I also play in an Orchestral Power Metal band called Counterpoint, aswell as doing my own musical thing which goes from genre to genre each song I write. I teach guitar from home and I'm going to a private uni to complete my Bachelor of Music Degree...
That's that outta the way now! On to the good shiet.
So I've been looking around at luthiers to have a custom 7-string (and 8-string down the track) built and just thought maybe there'd be some hardcore 7-string freaks who know EVERYTHING about woods, p/ups, paints, hardware etc that could help me out with my "part list."
Ok, so I'd like the John Petrucci sound, but I also like the Meshuggah dry tone (on albums like Destroy Erase Improve) which sounds absolutely brutal to me.
What woods would be best for the neck and body and what hardware should I look into? Keeping in mind, I LOVE hard tails and string thru etc, none of that Floyd Rose stuff anymore for me!
Thanks HEAPS in advance guys, even if no one feels like posting their opinions up, maybe a link to an old thread would help me.
- I've searched through the site numerous times and just thought I'd create my own special thread for this purpose.
I've emailed Dan at ONI guitars about having custom 7's and 8's made but I just would like to know what woods and stuff to have the guitar made out of.
Regards,
Scott Davis
