What do ya think? (need advise/ideas)

Thrashmanzac · 04-06-2008, 12:20 AM

i am seriously considering saving for a 7 string guitar, mainly, one from warmoth.
anyone had any dealings with them?
what im thinking is:
one piece mahogany 7s body
rear routed HxH and a fixed bridge.
tummy and forarm cut, contoured heel.
maple neck with ebony boad (only side dots)
dunno wether to get a 25' or a baritone scale neck

24 frets (6150's)
black hardware, oil finish on the body.
and hopefully some bareknuckle painkillers

so, what does everyone think?

like this, but with a mahogany body, and no headstock veneer

i'd hit that.

I heard warmoth only does odd scale lengths for 7 strings. they don't really cater to 7 stringers.
i'd say mike sherman. He can build you anything you want, exactly how you want it.

Yeah, Warmoths scale length options for 7 string necks certainly aren't optimal..

Edroz · 04-06-2008, 01:11 AM

i was just checking out Warmoth's site, and can only find 25" scale 7 string necks. i know they used to have that, and a 28.XXX (?) scale too IIRC... basically one extreme to the other.

IMO 25.5" is the bare minimum for a seven string neck.

Zepp88 · 04-06-2008, 01:12 AM

You'd probably be better checking out Sherman or Carvin

Durero · 04-06-2008, 04:32 AM

Well Sherman is a given, but dude you're in Australia! I think you're insane if you don't check out Oni - Dan makes some of the most beautiful instruments I've ever seen.

Thrashmanzac · 04-06-2008, 04:43 AM

well my main reason for the warmoth is just the price, and beause it would be an ok little hobby to do myself, as for mike, i doubt i could pay for a custom, and if i could id probly get perry ormsby to make me one

who/what is Oni??

You could get the body from Warmoth and then get someone to make a custom neck for it. It would end up costing a bit but I'd say not a whole lot more than a neck from warmoth. Then you could get anything you want on it.
