Oh Billy
I was finally able to score one of these, been on the hunt forever ![Headbang :hbang: :hbang:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hbang2.gif)
Since this is such a unique and futuristic instrument I'm going to do my NGD post a little differently this time. I'll be looking at it from the usual point of view of a guitarist but I will also look at it from an engineering viewpoint.
As a guitarist this instrument seemed very strange and kind of ugly upon my first viewing. I had no idea what the purpose of the body shape was or why the hardware was so goofy. After letting it sink in for a while I came to realize that everything was done with purpose on these guitars and knew I had to get my hands on one, even if just to give it a try. I was not disappointed at all, quite the opposite in fact. The body shape is incredibly ergonomic, the instrument is very light, and everything on this guitar is comfortable. The ash body could have been better, but this is an S7G build so you can't expect too much. Thankfully the birdseye maple board has some good figuring and the walnut top is just gorgeous.
As an engineer this guitar is pure porn, especially when compared to traditional guitars. Every specification has a reason behind it. The headless design, neck profile, fan frets, hardware, pickups, body shape, side dots, everything is very well thought out. My only two gripes from this viewpoint are the tuning system and the neck heel. The tuners can be very difficult to turn when the string is under tension and the heel is very large and bulky.
I'm now living in Madison WI so if someone would like to try this guitar out let me know. We could meet at the Guitar Center or the guitar shop on the north side.
Anyways, here's what you really came for. The Pr0n!
