I havent posted a NGD day in a while as I usually like to keep my personal collection fairly private, but this one was just too awesome not to share with y'all. This guitar came about because I've always loved the neck profiles on the USA RC7s, which are Ibanez style but flattens up even more as you go up the neck, but I wanted to customize things things a bit. First they built me a baritone "Green Xenocide" one with direct mount BKPs and glow-in-the-dark side-dots and now this fella: a mahogany body, AAAAA quilt top, ebony board 7-string with white EMG 81-7/60-7 pickups (soon to be replaced by Burnt Chrome covered BKPs).
I am psyched! It came out beautiful, sounds great even with the EMGs (I 18V modded it the moment it came in, which helped), and just plays like absolute butter. I also have a couple Ibanez J-Customs/LACS/Prestige stuff which I still adore, but these are quickly becoming my favorite 7-strings on the planet. I'm going to probably be using this at a show on Sunday so I'll see how it holds up then. So far so good, though!
