NGD (Explorer 7)

[naavanka_]

Another new guitar day for me

This time it´s a 7 string Ex type guitar.
Originally from the same factory as my 7 baritone string telecaster.
Made in south Korea.

Specs afaik are:

-3-piece mahogany body
-realy dark see through black, more like a solid black
-mahogany neck
-ebony fb
-22 jumbo frets
-25.5 scale?
-Wilkinson tuners
-cheapo ceramic pups
-Tom bridge with a stop tailpiece

The set-up were really bad from the box.
Some grime allover and the workmanship isn´t that good as you can see from the fb :/
Some laquer marks, glue, dirt and whatnot..
The frets are quite good and well made, not much buzzing.
Nut needs to be replaced as the original plastic one is, well, plastic.
I´ll be making some new pickups soon for this one too.

Dunno about the colour, its way too black...
Any ideas?
I was thinking about naturalizing and waxing the top

Anyhow, onto the pronz, enjoy!

the box, a gigbag included i see

Shadowm the fat one silently approves.

Weapon of choice

Fadis the cat with that gigbag

Some padding, looks good

Yeah!

A bad close-up

Headstock

From the back

Looks bad, feels good

Some cleaning needed

Masking the fb for a complete fret polishing

The oil changed the colour quite a bit, looks nice

Dried up

I´ll post better pics tomorrow as it did rain today and the lighting were bad.

It looks like it was left out in someone's basement for a couple of years..

Nice guitar nonetheless!

 

[ZXIIIT]

A fix-er upper for the ages. Can't wait to see what you do with it! Happy NGD!

[Jason_Clement]

Moar pussy is never enough

Pretty much nameless Korean brand.
Though they are made in the same factories as the most korean made guitars.

Moar pics.
Still a shitty weather but what can you do..

 

[SenorDingDong]

For a moment, I totally thought they taped your guitar in its gig bag to the outside of the box


Congrats!

 

[cronux]

when i saw the pic's i jizzed so much that i broke my pc monitor... now using a back up one

the guitar is EPIC! reminds me of those early james hetfield ESP's he used during the Black album touring cycle... really nice guitar you've got there

pm me if you ever want to sell it

Wow, that's some rough edges on that nut... Do you trust it completely? It looks like the treble strings come off it in an awkward way.

I do love the look of this guitar, though... Banged up fretboard and all. Congratulations.

 

[ZXIIIT]

How much was this and is it available to import?

I don´t that nut at all.
i´ll be making a new one soon.

Dunno about the original price.
These are really, really hard to get all alone as it from a really big group order.

 

[naavanka_]

I put some Duncan JBs in.
Way better than the stock pups but i still can´t smell that fukken BACON!

 

[Zeetwig]

Great guitar! I agree that it's way too black :S But then I am a sucker for cherry and white, and lighter black, and blue

Someday I'll get my own 7string explorer HNGD!!
