I always try to hold off with build threads that I know I will love for as long as I can because I can't stand the wait. Now that I've seen this, I... can't stand the wait!!

You need to get actual measurements for a custom neck if you want one. "I want like x or y brand" isn't going to fly.

Anyways, if you want to talk about the specs on your guitar why don't you start a thread for your build or to discuss specs people are getting for the run. This thread is for talking about my 7DC build.

lol ok sorry for the intrusion i'll add to kxk build thread...

That, Techno, is going to be one gorgeous guitar! It's probably the only walnut guitar I've seen that doesn't look like a cabinet to me. Gonna'. Be. Sweet.

I have to agree. I love those block inlays & doubling the 24th was a nice touch.

Thanks I've always been a sucker for highly figured walnut

I have to agree. I love those block inlays & doubling the 24th was a nice touch.

I'm really happy with how the inlays are turning out. I designed the scarabs about a year ago, so seeing them on a guitar is awesome. The side blocks are all walnut, and it doesn't show up well in the pic but there are also thinner blocks on the frets with the scarabs, single at 1 and double at 12.

Got a couple pics of the scarab inlays this morning. Obviously not oiled yet so things will darken a bit and the figure in the wood will come out.

Rob does some rather awesome inlay work, I must say!

 

[mphsc]

oh my gosh. that is beautiful & the cutting & fitting o the inlays is so P-E-R-F-E-C-T!

What are they made of?

 

[BlackMastodon]

Does he do those inlays by hand or CNC? Looks amazing regardless.

The small sliver on top of the guitar pick is a maple inlay piece

IIRC there are 48 of those... and they were Rob's idea

On a more serious note, part of the inlays for the back Woods are snakewood, walnut, boxwood, maple for the tiny chest scales on the snakes, and bloodwood.
