Some very nice guitars on display, and on this page only 
Here's my collection, a bit boring compared to some of the others here. Schecter ATX Blackjack and LTD SC607b with a couple of non-seven intruders just to bulk out the display!

My 7 was built in 1997 by a local luthier. He specialised in building archtop guitars and was looking to get into making 7 string versions. I happened to come along at the right time so we agreed to look at a prototype for him to explore the world of 7s.
As I wanted something very different to what was pretty much the only other available 7 at the time (Ibanez Universe), it made it difficult to source hardware etc. It had to be a hardtail which meant a lot of work to get a usable system together.
Although the guitar isn't really what I would call a finished 'product' it has proved to be an impossibly solid and capable guitar which has been with me everywhere and suffered untold abuse. It's a pure warhorse.
So, here she is.
It's an oversized version of a 62 SG with flame maple body, AA+ grade birds-eye maple neck, ebony fingerboard, Jumbo Dunlop frets and a graphite nut. I use a custom set of strings - 13, 17, 24, 36, 46, 56, 64 and tuned down half a step.
.
The hardware is based on a 6 string. I bought two lots of a brass tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece and had a local machining company cut an incredibly neat join - like a dovetail but extended. This allowed me to slide a 4 string version of one bridge into a 3 string version of the other.
I almost had to buy two sets of the Gotoh machind heads but the parts guy who was interested by the project split a pack for me. This was helpful as the bridge and tailpiece I bought from him cost sooooo much.
I had the tailpiece offset from the bridge as I play the strings in this area so the angle helps to resist any slippage.
All of the pots and switches are from Switchcraft and it's fitted with a Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge and a Duncan Distortion in the neck.
Originally, I had custom made Kent Armstrong pickups fitted as the only other option wre Ibanez and some DiMarizio (which I'm not a fan of) so I swapped out to the SD's when they hit the market as the Armstrong's didn't quite cut it after a few years of use and rig changes.

Well, this is my first seven string, so I'm still getting used to the extra string, also the spaces between the strings, taller neck. After about 5 hours of playing, I have absolutely fallen in love, the flat back neck makes it easy to access, the pickups have great tone(good enough for me), the LFR stays in tune perfectly, and that B string, so HEAVY, I'm playing through a Bugera 1990 120watt + 412 mic'ed in to my PA, the whole house shakes when I chuga chuga on the B. To be honest, I've been playing for around 25 years, this has opened up a whole new world for me.
