NGD strictly 7 S7 Boa Viper Exotic Series

[xshreditupx]

as i mentioned in another post, i have recently gotten an endorsement from strictly 7. i wanted to get my hands on one asap, so i found a guitar that they had in stock and made a move. I AM SO GLAD I DID. it plays amazing. almost too fast. great tone, amazing look. honestly the only thing i would change about this guitar is the fact that i only have one of them right now. here are the specs.

Body wood: Mahogany
Top Wood: African Wenge, flat-sawn
Neck wood: Flame Maple
Fingerboard: Indian Rosewood
Neck Radius: 16"
Scale Length: 27.5"
Frets: 26 Dunlop medium-jumbo nickle-silver
Pickups: EMG 81-7 Bridge, 707 neck
Tuners: Sperzel non-Locking
Bridge: Original Floyd Rose
Finish: Natural Satin Lacquer

i usually use jumbo frets, but ill tell you what, the fret work on this guitar is SICK SICK SICK. the D shaped neck profile is very comfortable, cuts down on fatigue on a huge scale, and really lets you play in perfect posture with no discomfort. the tone of the wood is dark and rich but it still rolls out a tight high end bite when you get into that high register. time for some pics

all and all i cant think of one thing that i dont like about this guitar. being a part of their team just makes it a little sweeter.

Nice rug!!!!
.... and the guitar looks good, too

 

[xshreditupx]

haha thanks, i like them both, the guitar plays a lot better than the rug tho

 

[BrainArt]

Congrats, Pat! The top looks KILLER!

 

[Prydogga]

That was fast Pat! Congrats, still eager to see what customs you work out!

 

[Fred the Shred]

Dude, the intonation on your rug is way off!
Great looking axe, mate - simple and utilitarian, yet classy.

 

[heineken_fretwalker]

Congrats on the axe, bro. Glad to see you joining the roster

Congrats! I had spec'ed out an order I thought I was gonna put in for Jim, but then this BRJ black friday sale came around, and... well you know whats up. It's guitars like yours that made me want a S7 in the first place. Maybe an 8-string from S7 in the future.

and I know people keep cracking jokes about it, but that rug is fucking awesome

 

[kmanick]

Very nice!
congrats on the endorsement, this is one of those companies I 've been dying to check out. I hope someone local to me gets one so i can check it out.
I love the overall look of yours all the lines 'work"!
Birds eye maple board and a 25.5 scale and I'd like one just like it.

That top looks very nice, love natural finishes. And nice touch with the controls backplate on the back.
But I cant help but notice how that Floyd routing looks too large for the floyd itself... Might be the camera flash.

Been drooling over that one for a while. Nice score!

 

[Goatchrist]

Nice score! It's gorgeous and it fits with the color of your rug?

 

[cwhitey2]

pure awesomeness!

Do a video of it! I haven't seen any vids of these guitars in action yet.

 

[ILuvPillows]

Not to derail your NGD...but being an endorsee could you shed some light on when the S7 Single cut going to be revealed?

 

[Matt Crooks]

Did Stevie Wonder do the routing for the pickups and Floyd?

 

[Chorus_of_one]

I'd hit it. Good looking axe, dude!

Did Stevie Wonder do the routing for the pickups and Floyd?

honestly, i dont see a problem with the routing, its smooth and fits well. the top/body colors are so different that it looks huge, but its a good fit and the floyd is right on. ill make sure to call stevie and see if he did the routing though, im sure he has time between piano solos to let you know.

Do a video of it! I haven't seen any vids of these guitars in action yet.

coming soon. im gonna sit down tonight and make a quick video, then a real, longer, in depth vid.

im gonna call jim right now and see if i can get some info, i know there are a couple of new shapes on the bench as we speak. i got a pic of one i cant talk about, holt shit, the idea is killer. i think everyone is gonna really be surprised by what Jim and co have in store for the guitar world.

That top looks very nice, love natural finishes. And nice touch with the controls backplate on the back.

i think maybe because of the flash and the difference in the top color and the body of the guitar it pops so much it gives it that feel, ill take a couple more photos at different angles, so everyone can get a good look. i know i said this already, but i wanted to answer everyone personally.

if anyone has any questions or interest in these guitars feel free to ask me any time. i am in contact with Jim a couple of days a week and im sure he will be happy to answer any questions i have for the board. Jim has a lot of love for the SS.ORG folk, ask fire away.
