So it is definately Korean built then!

Uh... I think you got something terribly wrong there mate. I really don't think you know what scale length means - scale length and tension have nothing to do with the number of frets on an instrument.

A 2 fret and a 36 fret 25,5" guitar will have the exact same tension (if stringed with the same strings and tuned to the same pitch), there is no secret "extra-fret-voodoo"... it's just maths.

P.s.: the only way you'd increase tension by adding two frets, is if you decide to extend the scale length to 28 5/8" (adding two extra low frets in the process) - but that would require a custom built neck... someone on this forum actually did that to an S7420... can't seem to remember who, though.

Absolutely correct - the number of frets has nothing to do with scale length or tension. It was urklvt who had the extended neck put on his S7.

A little pedestrian, but it's cool to see it.

Yup, it's a real shame about the plain Jane finish... A blind man could have been more creative using his cane alone. It will be mod city when I get mine. I'll be stripping it and depending on the state of the mahogany (and my mood), I'll either be oiling it or refinishing it in some hue of green...

I decided im not gonna paint it neon yellow like i originally planned, but replace the logo and make all hardware neon green like a UV7BK. \m/

Hmm... that's not a bad option either! I'm already thinking about PUs... I really like my current setup (consisting of a Blaze Neck and a PAF7) and am debating whether to go that route again or to go bonkers and try the De-Activators (which also come in green...).

It'll be fun, cause im gonna try to do the dots green as well.

 

[Pablo]

Cool!

How does one go about getting those dots out of the neck? Do you have to drill them out?

I believe you need the services of a guild-trained magician, or I’ve heard that most wizards moonlight as luthiers’.

I think this is how!

 

[Kagami]

Nah, you do it like this guy:

 

[Ryan]

KAALIIMAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!

 

[Pablo]

Just shy of black magic, drilling the inlays out is your best option - just don't go too deep!

It's really done using heat guys.
Heat 'em up to loosen the glue and pull them out without chipping the board. (which is the hard part)
Clean cavity.
Make matching wood dust/epoxy mix.
Fill cavity.
Sand flat and re-oil f/b.
Camoflaged inlays that give a blank appearance overall.
You'll see soon....

I wonder which of these steps I would totally botch?











Probably the first
