This would cost me 600 $ without hardware. Any idea what the hardware would cost me? Gold floyd, gold tuners and 2 EMG 707s. Any suggestions, or something you think is weird? As you might see I "borrowed" a couple of ideas tehk. But that is a minor detail. So hopefully I will be able to order this in april when he has a spot open.

JPMDan · 01-07-2007, 08:23 AM

I did a quote too mine is 909.03 with hardware but no paint and binding. Nonetheless I'm getting a Chris Woods RG. Im getting a OFR7 bridge (guitarpartsdepot.com). for my neck profile I gave measurements from a universe. Angled jack like a UV as well with the lion claw recess. Dual Dimarzio hums 26" scale, Q Parts Knobs, 3 way toggle switch 2 vol no tone, control layout like JPM, 6100 fret, sperzel locking tuners, mahogany body, maple neck, ebony FB and custom inlay.

Thanks, now has anybody ever played one of his creations, or know of anybody that has?

JPMDan · 01-07-2007, 10:56 AM

Jim777 over at jemsite has one, Scott should be getting his very soon. Scott recommended him very highly. As long as you keep your body and neck simple with regular woods you should have a good price if you want exotic woods it will kick up a notch. my body is 180 and the neck is 250 with a custom inlay.

Wow very interesting, so would he be able to build me a JP7 copy?

JPMDan · 01-07-2007, 11:23 AM

all I can say is go talk to him send him an email, talk to him on AIM and find out, I haven't seen him do any JP7's but he can do it.

edit: here's another guy getting a chris woods guitar.

My next Custom 7

Ive worked with Chris Woods on two guitars and he is rock solid.

Here are my last two projects:

if my first guitar comes out good then I'm definitely working on a second guitar soon afterwards.

Here's what Jim777 says about Chris woods

I just have a body, from before his CNC days. Since it was all hand cut, the routes aren't perfect but that's to be a bit expected. He's making me another CNC body now. He used to work for Mike Tobias, so he has a great eye for wood. The body I have is really gorgeous, but the new one wil have tighter tolerances. If you're going to get custom pieces, I'd go with Chris first, because he's been a guitar maker for years. The only real down side is the wait for custom work, which you'd get anyway.
