Has anyone ever purchased one of their 7 bodies or 7 necks? I was wondering what exactly they look like as they dont have any pictures of them on their site. If I like the body I might just go ahead and buy one for a cool project, as the price seems to be pretty good. Thanks!

Universal Jems is a dealer for AllParts, so the bodies and necks he sells come from them. check out allparts.com for some more info and pictures, but still not a whole lot

i ordered their ash 7-string strat body, but the description didn't say anything about the rear-routed control cavity. i wanted it front-routed, like a real strat, so that was a deal-breaker for me and i returned it.

the quality of the woodworking was good but not great. it was not sanded to 220 grit like Warmoth's stuff, and the routing was not super-clean like Warmoth, but it was solid work.

if you're considering AllParts stuff, also check out WD Music products. they also list 7-string strat bodies, but when i was looking (last Feb. or so), they had no idea when they were going to get the ash ones back in stock.
