Well I sold a few guitars recently and decided it was time to pull the trigger with our Australian home skillet!
Here are the specs on the build:
(based in large part on Bostjan's ridiculously cool 8-string CF custom, thanks for having that built dude!
)
Oni Custom 7-string:
Body wood: Sitka Spruce
Neck wood: Sitka Spruce
Fretboard wood: Acrylized Macassar Ebony
Frets: 24 Stainless Steel Jumbo frets, Fanned frets
Scales for fan: 25" on the high side to either 26.5" or 27" on the low side, tuned to B standard
Pickups: Custom-wound Oni pickups - Bridge: Tone mixed between a BKP Painkiller and Miracle Man (hot and crazy pinch harmonics but still retaining clarity), Neck: Fluid tone with high articulation
Special features: Carbon Fiber twill covering for strength, stability and asthetics
Color: Carbon Fiber with a slight blackburst (almost like a silverburst with the CF showing in the middle) on the edges
Controls: Volume, Tone (push-pull coil split), 3-way toggle
Body Shape: Same as Bostjan's 8-string, even more contoured and sleek as there won't be a need for a huge control cavity without the piezo/synth PCBs in there![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Neck Carve: As close to a JP7 as possible![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Not sure if I left anything out but if I did I'll update it later!
It's going to be a few months before updates as Dan has a lot of work going on so be patient for pics and whatnot. This is going to be extremely sweet though, I tell you that much!
Thanks again Dan, great chatting with you the other day! ![wub :wub: :wub:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wwub.gif)
Also for those that either never saw Bostjan's killer 8-string custom Oni or forgot about how awesome it was, my 7 will be similar to this but with a neck pickup and 24 frets instead of 27:
