Hurray for lazy GC employees! [56k: double secret probation]

[Leon]

click for big pics.

Edit: added a few family shots













the fretboard is dryer than Joan Rivers, and the action is lower than Andrew Dice Clay. a little work, and i'll have another sweet 7 .

Nice! My friend had one like that a couple of years ago. It played pretty well. Nice finish too!

How do lazy GC employees factor in?

That aside, that's a pretty sweet guitar. You should let me borrow it. It'll make it back to you eventually.

 

[Leon]

i figure, given the terrible action, anyone who saw it saw the price and thought, "oh cool!" but then played it and thought, "oh yuck."

The fretboard looked maple to me for a second in that 3rd picture.

I want a strat so bad. This isn't helping, but that's a good thing. Sick axe, bro!

 

[technomancer]

Damn, nice score. I'm amazed you found one of those NOS

You MUST bring that the next time we do a get together

 

[Shawn]

There was one just like that in a local music store here for the longest time until finally, someone bought it. I was tempted to pick it up myself but I had other things I wanted at the time. Nice score, Leon!

 

[Donnie]

Nice!

 

[Kagami]

looks nice man! I saw the stagemaster one at GC today they want something ridiculous for it, like 300

 

[Michael]

Nice. Sevenstring strat's have always intrigued me.

 

[huber]

I'm so jealous. I want one of those things baaaaaaad. Nice score man.

 

[Sebastian]

Nice.. Nice indeed

 

[Ken]

= the man. That is all.

I require that you sell me that. Seriously. I was recording with my strat this morning, and thinking just how much a neck singlecoil eats everything else I've ever played alive, and how being a strat player from way back my style is STILL totally based around that explosive neck singlecoil tone. :/

Neck single coil pickups are amazing. I wish there were sevens made with SSH pickup configurations.

There is always the 007 elite? And it plays fantastic too!

That's all good. But I would really like a Strat-like seven string, alder or ash body, a trem and SSH pickups. I'm picky like that.

Did they ever make an offical Fender 7 and not just Squier?

There was a proto soneone took a pic of while it was in a store. The price was something like 14K. Do a search and you may find a thread on it.
