NGD: Custom Shop 7-String Dean RC7 Sky Blue Quilt

[zimbloth]

UPDATE: As I mentioned originally I was intending to put Bare Knuckle Painkillers with Burnt Chrome covers in this guitar. Today that happened, and MAN does it sound incredible. Mops the floor with the EMGs. The Painkillers in mahogany just rip. Here are some pics...

Whoa! I missed this somehow, that axe is a beauty. Love the way it looks with those Bkp's too.

Thats one of the most beautiful guitars i have ever seen.
Sick as hell!!!
PS: it appeals to me more with the white EMGs though.

Honestly looked sick with those white EMGs, but that quilt looks too good. I was surprised it was a Dean. Their CS has definitely hit it out of the park! Congrats!

Damn that looks great! Can't say I like the burnt chrome pickup color choice personally. Doesn't mix very well with that gorgeous blue.

I liked how it looked with the white EMGs also, thats why I had them make it that way. Unfortunately I just wasnt completely satisfied with the tone of the EMGs. The Burnt chromes look a lot better in person, its hard to photograph. Most importantly though it sounds exponentially better now

I'm late to the party but DAMN! That ain't right. This is gorgeous. Definitely the best looking Dean ever!

With my increasing OCD about guitars... WHY DOES IT NOT HAVE A KNOB ON THE VOLUME POT?!

Seriously though, you getting a nicer knob on there?

It does have a knob on the volume pot, relax Just not in this picture. EMGs use 25K pots which are smaller, whereas the 500K passive pots are a slightly larger size, meaning it needed a new knob. I took this picture immediately after the pickup was installed.

This looks absolutely sick!

Btw, what is up with the upper horn, I've noticed some of the custom shop rc7s have a slightly thinner upper horn than the USA models do...am I crazy or does anyone else notice this?

Probably an optical illusion, they've all looked the same to me.

Fvvvvck... meeeee...

That's real clean dude, definitely HNGD!! As white as those EMG's are, they give a whole new meaning to "soap" bar pickups otherwise absolutely stunning. Hope it plays as good as it looks.

This has to be the first Cooley I've really liked. Happy NGD, sucker!

Those BKP look just awesome, even though I'm a EMG guy.
