Ragnar · 12-28-2008, 07:37 AM

You definitely got my respect, this is the MOST beautiful 7 string I came cross yet

and I`m not exaggerating...I`m gonna get my S7320 but maybe this is a big motivation to try to make myself one

. to bad I can`t get this for the same 1000 bucks I`m spending on that ibanez

Harry · 01-02-2009, 03:33 AM

Looks amazing man

halsinden · 01-03-2009, 03:14 PM

guys, thank you so, so much for all the really kind comments and the votes received on this guitar. i can speak for both sebastian & myself in saying that we're very proud of the results.

of course the huge thanks must go to sebastian & adam of roter custom guitars who made the project possible. they've been nothing short of exceptional with this. i'll be posting a full review when i get the guitar back in about a week, in the meantime here are some shots of the recent progress roter have made from the re-staining i'd ordered, it's now a lot more black:

Demoniac · 01-04-2009, 04:45 AM

beautiful guitar man, just beautiful

phaeded0ut · 01-09-2009, 09:40 AM

Ooooooh, that is VERY pretty! Thank you very kindly for posting the pictures.

halsinden · 02-26-2009, 06:20 AM

sorry about the incredibly delayed bump, but it's just come back from poland after further re-finish work and some re-profiling of the neck and it's looking just stunning. it struck me this morning how amazing it looked in the morning sunlight.

i'll be doing a pro shoot with this soon, but i just wanted to share how great the matte finish looks on it. you can see from the colour at the surrounds of the shots that it's actually all that black...

those are some elixir 'heavy' strings on it with an extra .068 on the low. i love these strings.
