Oooo boy you know how to get me going with those semi-hemi fret ends. Looking really clean, man! And also loving the non-traditional headstock on the 7, reminds me of the Jackson 4+3 ones.

Thank you people! I used the Titebond II, just bought the 3 to eventually do the cutting board or something... =)
Prevals is nice! I need like 3-4 cans to finish a guitar I think, I do like 6-8 coats of sealer+sander, then 2x3 coats of finish with 600 grit between, gives me a very thin final coat. But the pressure falls with the age of a can, at first it deliver a nice cloud but quickly the amount of lacquer falls down and it starts to spitting.

Hey guys! I've just tried the beast. First thoughts the sound is awesome. Neck = twang, middle - really nice clean, bridge = rock, metal.
Action is surprisingly good (my first GOOD fretwork =D).
The guitar vibrates when i take a chord, thats good news also.

But the bridge alignement suck. And i have much more space from the edge of the fingerboard to the high E. Have enough space to the low E tho. So the playing feel is nice but visually it's not pretty. I suppose I could do some file action on the bridge to bring it a little lower.

Gotta finish some details before I can say it's done...

Hey guys. I just couldn't resist and assembled the 7 one =) Well, it's not perfect but certainly nice!

So, the intonation is good, action is good, not the best but match the action on my guitar. But I not finished the tweaking yet... The neck need a little tilt though.

Visually it's quite nice but if you come closer you can see all the mess ups I did =)

The sound seems nice, can't really check this cause pickups are too far from strings (not had the good screws dammit).

Some photos to illustrate the goodness a little =)
