Tis quartersawn Honduran mahogany. That's why it's all ripply around the endgrain areas. I didn't expect it to pop like this and the back looks just like it too.

Thanks once again for checkin it out! I decided I'm going to be using this as a headstock from here in with the inline 6/7 headstock I already have templated.

Got a good shot of the fretboard and the headstock finally.

Wow... that's just a stunning top! I would have liked to see a matching headstock cap... the padouk headstock face looks odd with the rest of the woods on the front (in my humble opinion).

And i'm loving the 4+3 Jackson SLS headstock... probably my favourite 7-string headstock shape.

canuck brian · 06-30-2008, 05:07 AM

I guess it's very SLS headstock... I did draw it from scratch but the SLS headstock is nice.

I didn't have enough zebrawood to pull off the cap. I'll probably dupe the whole guitar at some point and do a padouk cap and a zebrawood headstock neck.

Oh - i actually built it in 25" instead of 25.5" to try it out. I really dig PRS's and I wanted that scale feel in a 7.

Thats hot man. Awesome job.

robanomoly · 06-30-2008, 12:34 PM

Congratulations on a great job!

Looks damn fine Brian

Two questions:

1. Are you going to have a trem cavity cover?
2. What material is the nut?

Justin Bailey · 06-30-2008, 02:55 PM

god, that looks amazing man,can't wait to see your next project!

metalfeind: the nut looks like its the same material as the inlay, as to what that is, I dunno, haha/

NickCormier · 06-30-2008, 03:22 PM

really badass, Brian.

Justin is correct - it's acetate. I've read up a few things about the uses of it and i'm trying it out on this for now. I've got a bunch of graphtech blanks if need be, but I did the multicolor thing.

I'm definitely not putting a trem cover on this. It's the first thing I remove from all of my other guitars. I can't stand the damn things.

Next project in the can is a 4 string bass for my brother and another 7 with an inline reversed, RG style body. I've got the body blanks already prepared on both of the builds and I might get a 3rd one going at the same time. I'll whip up the appropriate threads as soon as I've got enough material to show you guys.

aaaaaand once again thanks for checkin it out.

Edit: i lost one of my little green bars.... sup wit dat?

That is one sweet looking beast.

I think the wood choice is a little clownish looking but the build quality looks amazing

FYP666 · 08-02-2008, 11:15 AM

I knew it, it is amazing, and beyond all, shredtastic!

Yep!

( I have no idea what you wrote! )

Ancestor · 08-02-2008, 11:50 PM

Really nice. Looks good. I like the headstock a lot.

Mattmc74 · 08-03-2008, 12:02 AM

Awesome job! Thats really sweet looking. I really like the differences in the wood tones.

Scootman1911 · 08-03-2008, 04:18 AM

Man that's awesome! I wish I knew how to build guitars. I've thought about it before but reading through some of these threads makes me realize I could maybe do the body work but that's about it.

i'd probably suck the most at the neck contours
