My alder S7

(diverted from Modded my 97' UV!, so i don't hijack Heavy Ed's thread any more than i already have....)

thanks, dudes! it's routed for a Lo-Pro 7, i just did the rout really shallow to leave as much wood as possible. actually too shallow--i'm gonna have to shim the neck a bit.

that is the final finish, nitro laquer over stain, but that pic was taken halfway through the wetsanding, so the glossy shine hasn't come in yet. i need to take some new pics.

DarkWolf, the neck single is the Anderson i have, that has a big bar magnet glued across the bottom. it sounded really bright and clear when i did the test assembly. the body wasn't finished then, and i had the pickup wired straight to the output jack beacuse i didn't want to install the pots, but hopefully it'll still sound that good with the finish and the volume pot.

That is going to be sweet

Whats up with the switch hole. Is some sort of different switch going there or is that just what it looks like under the plastic cover?

Looks nice dude. Lots of pics when it's finished.

Heavy Ed · 03-19-2007, 11:01 AM

thanks dudes. yeah, that rectangular switch hole is what it looks like underneath the little black plastic S-series switch mount thingy.

but i don't like the single pup on the neck. But it's your guitar, you have to enjoy it like you want.

BTW we want a lot of pictures when the guitar's finished!

Very classy so far and I really dig single coils. Hope everything goes smoothly with the construction.

I always thought Ibanez should build S series guitars from some woods other than mahogany. A maple bodied S7 would be awesome.

That guitar should be pretty damn cool.
