Ok. So this is my first post and my first sevenstring guitar.
Since this forum pushed me over to the dark side and had me buy a sevenstring guitar I thought this would be an appropriate place to post it up.

Behold my tasty Scott Heatley 7-stringed custom:

Cocobolo and maple 3piece neck
Ebony Fingerboard with "H" inlay
Natural binding on body and neck
One piece mable top

And if somebody could be kind enough to help me out with the pictures it would be appreciated, it seems I got that part wrong...

You had it almost right. Those links just have to be pasted into box that pops up when you choose the "insert image" icon at the advanced screen.

looks killer!
I love the natural binding on the neck and the body (I'm thinking about doing something exactly like this but with a maple board).
Nice specs too , what's the neck profile like?

That is sweet!
I didn't know Heatley was building 7's now.
Scotts makes some beautiful stuff.
Normally his stuff is in the Gibby LP or PRS style.

That is a beautiful piece of work. I'm literally in awe of this...

I like your choice on the woods, the cocobolo is pretty freakin sweet and the maple is gorgeous.

I forgot to mention in my last post....that's an awesome looking guitar! What's going on with the back of the guitar near the cavity cover though? Is it scratched?
