New Woodo 7-String!

[7deadlysins666]

Cool. When you do get it, would you mind posting it here, or sending it in a PM?

No prob man. He said they are currently revising their entire pricelist which will take a while so I have to send them what models I am interested in and they'd get me a quote. I can't do 24 pieces haha. I wish! I really wish I had some money to invest and i'd turn this into a business. I know that me/other guitarist/bassist are going to come up with a name to put on the headstocks so they are not blank.

Alright, this is an old thread but I figured a short review could be relevant

I played this guitar today, well set-up with new strings, and I have to say it was damn good. Throughout the day I'd been hopping between guitar shops trying out JP7's, Ibby Prestiges, Carpenters etc. and I still managed to be very impressed with this guitar.

The neck is somewhere in between Schecter and Ibanez, I'd say. Thinner than a Schecter, rounder than an Ibanez. Very comfortable, then again I've never had much love for flat necks. The Woodo neck is somewhat on the flat side, but not at all as exaggerated as a lot of Ibby's.

The neck is a 5 piece, and due to the raw (or at least very thin finish), you can feel a difference between the different laminates. It didn't bother me at all while playing, I'm just putting it out there. The maple is smoother than the walnut strips. Either way, I had no problems pulling off my most tasteless shred licks on it, so no worries.

The pickups are hard to review cause I only had a Pocket POD to try it out through... anyway, you get a 5-way switch AND a coil tap on the tone knob. This increases the versatility in a big way. The pickups (Kent Armstrong), didn't appear to have super-high output, but they sounded nice and dynamic, and the middle singlecoil sounded like a singlecoil, unlike many 7-string singles *coughdimarzioblazecough*.. The split tones were definately usable. I'd say this guitar is optimal for players who need to cover a lot of sounds, and who don't just play metal non-stop. Funk/jazz/rock n' roll/blues all sounded VERY genuine and natural on this guitar. This is, to me, very impressive in a 7-string. All my songs are written/recorded with an HSS guitar, but I could still see myself pulling them off convincingly with this guitar.

The trem, I have no comment on, as it had ben blocked by the owner.

Anyway, I'm strongly considering buying one of these now. Ridiculous value for the money, for sure. I'll probably sell my C-7 Hellraiser to get this guitar, as it was infinitely more versatile, sounded awesome, and had the 25.5" scale playability that I prefer over the Schecter's longer scale.

Totally recommend it!

Does anyone know if Woodo is still in business?? (I assume they are) but I have sent Arttu a half dozen emails and have never received a reply.
