NGD! The guitar to replace all my other guitars! (Warning: very very pic heavy!)

[Whitestrat]

Just got this in last Thursday. A brand new custom built LP-DC style guitar by Jason Schroeder.

I posted the build thread here: http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/lu...ions/138835-making-lilith-6-string-dream.html



Here are the updated specs:

• Shorty Style 22 Stainless Steel Jumbo Frets
• Quartersawn Flamed Top
• Lightweight 1 piece Honduran Mahogany Body
• Honduran Mahogany Neck
• Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard
• 24.75” Scale
• 2 Custom wound Skatterbrane Humbuckers (A4 in the neck, A2 in the bridge)
• 1 Master Volume, 2 tone
• 3 way switch
• Graphtech Resomax NVS Bridge with Aluminium Schroeder Tailpiece
• Schaller Locking tuners with pearloid pegs
• 59' thickness, top carve and neck angle.
• Vintage Amber burst with cherry back.
• Nitro Lacquer Finish
• Ivoroid binding all around except headstock.
• Ivoroid pickup rings
• Custom designed MOP + wood Inlays

The guitar turned out to be extremely light (7.9lbs), resonant, long sustain, and very sweet sounding. It's solid bodied. No chambering, yet is acoustically as loud as my chambered Les Paul.
Honestly, and without trying to overstate the fact, this is very possibly the BEST guitar I have ever owned (more than 30 guitars) and played in my 22 year playing history.
I really feel that I can now (and I will) let go of most of my guitars because of this one. It is 22 years of personal experience rolled into one guitar, with a 7 string as the only other variant I'd like to have custom built.
Without further ado, I hereby present: "Lilith"
Note the shading on the neck

Tummy cut! Super comfortable!

Nice clean neck joint

Custom inlay based on a 18 year old design I did back then.

I was watching your build thread for a little while there. Phenomenal looking guitar, my friend! Happy NGD!

I've never really cared much for double-cutaway guitars, but that is stunning and the attention to detail is amazing. Congrats!

 

[Imalwayscold]

[Thrashmanzac]

[ThorSilhouette]

[rcsierra13]

Loving the inlay.

Just curious, why only 22 frets?

Happy NGD. Looks great.

Love the inlay and the jack plate is sweet cause its different. Happy NGD

 

[Whitestrat]

Just curious, why only 22 frets?

Because I am a huge fan of the 22 fret neck pickup tone. I have never liked how the neck pick up sounds on a 24 fretter.

 

[SYLrules88]

i love it!! that inlay is pretty killer as well!

DAT FINSISH
DOSE INLAYS

Awesome machine you have there, good sir.

 

[Animus]

Very PRSesque but I am sure sounds way better.

 

[shogunate]

Even in the pics the color changes even at the same angle some pictures look like it's a different shade. That's some MIIIIIIINDFREEEEAK shit right there.

Sick design man, glad you got what you wanted!!

My two principal reactions:

1) The inlay didn't phase me until I saw it up close, at which point I SHIT ALL OVER MYSELF BECAUSE IT'S FRIGGIN' TIDY, G.

2) That is seriously one nice piece of flame maple you've got capping that sumbitch, broseph. Grats.
