Oi!
There isn't much need to introduce this guitar around these parts. If there is one place in the world where people constantly dreamed of a Dino sig, then it's sevenstring.org, hahaha. So here it is, I actually got it yesterday.
Upon arrival:
But to me a NGD ain't the same without treating the guitar a little bit, so today started off like this:
After changing the tuning pegs to white pearl ones I moved on to the fretboard. Before:
Nice streaking, but it was a little dry. After conditioning and all:
Let's move on to showing off the guitar as a whole:
Getting the DCM100 was quite important to me, since I actually started playing the guitar because of Fear Factory's Demanufacture and Obsolete about 15 years ago. I loved Dino's super tight staccato riffing, it seemed like magic to me when I was a kid and it made me wanna play guitar in a Metal band. So getting this axe was a no-brainer to me.
The DCM100 plays great. It's a bit on the heavy side and sounds very lound and full when it's not plugged in. I love the 3-piece neck - it looks great and the profile and finish are immaculate. To be completely honest, though - I'm not very impressed with the pickups. On the upside, they don't sound too compressed and have a very massive single note and open string attack, but all in all I find them a bit too thick in the low end. I'm pretty sure it works perfect with Dino's tone, but I guess I'm just really more of a passive guy.
Either way, I recorded some clips:

If you feel like comparing them to a bunch of other 7-string pickups, tune into my 7-string pickup shootout:

Enjoy!
