Here are the specs and some pics of the building of my custom 7 string guitar from KXK guitar company http://www.zatuchney.com/kxk.
I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Two questions - Should I stay with the black w/silver bevel paint job, or keep it unpainted? Also, I have never used EMG's in a 7 string. I was going with the 707 for the bridge and the 81-7 for the neck, but wasn't sure if this was the best location or if they should be reversed.

Thanks for the help. I asked to have a locking nut installed, and I think the luthier will be able to do this for me.jtm45 said:I haven't played a Petrucci but from what i hear the trem hasn't got the same kinda' range as a Floyd.
Like Drew said, when you do a good dive with an Edge or a Floyd the strings go slack enough that they could come right out of the nut ( a non-locking nut that is)and even if you go easy with it the combination of a brass nut and any angle from the nut to the tuners will cause the strings to bind in the nut.
So basically you will definitely need a locking-nut.

terrorsound said:good topic!!! I asked my builder the same thing, even though I will
be using LSR locking tuners and 13 degree headstocks, a divebomb from a floyd would definately slip
the strings off a regular nut I would think.. This will help me out too, big thanks for the info.
