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.

The 7 seven string Octavia is in stock right now. Black on Black. Lic. Floyd rose, 1 halo humbucker (bridge position), 1 volume. Mahogany body/neck, rosewood fingerboard, no inlays, abalone headstock inlay. Email me at jeff@haloguitars.com for a picture. I'm new on here and haven't figured out how to post pictures yet. Thanks!

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...

To me that 7 String Octavia looks like its missing a string. The body just doesnt seem right with a 7 string neck.

Is that cause you know it was made for 8 strings? Its hard to distance ones self sometimes.

More frets sounds really fun.
make it 31 frets, so that it goes low B to high B. (math might be wrong, it's early in the morning) |
