Halo 7 string Octavia

I see that Halo makes 7 strings with the Octavia body. I have seen a pic of the Octavia 6 string but I was wondering if anyone had a pic/owned an octavia 7? I just think an 8 would be over the top for my needs and wouldn't mind some info on the 7...

Cheers

Wouldn't a 7-string Octavia be a Septavia?

They can definitely make one, but from what I've seen that body only looks right with an eight string neck on it... take a look at the pics of the white six string, the neck looks like a toothpick on that body

The only way to know for sure is to PM W4D and see if he has any pics of one with a seven string neck... it might be wide enough to look right.

I love 'em! I have a Yamaha AES-RS7 on the way and I reckon they look like THE SHIT! And those Octavia's look awesome!

Just got this sent through from Jeff from Halo...



The 7 string doesn't look too damn bad! definitely not as anorexic as the 6 that's for sure...

Time to save up for ANOTHER seven

That looks decent... hopefully I'll be posting some Octavia pics of my own tomorrow

Is that some kind of Floyd on there? I thought Halo had standardized on the Kahlers for everything...
