Hey guys,
I've always wanted to built a 7 stringer however it seems like the stigma is always to include a flloyd rose + basswood body with no veneer/cap.
I'd really love to see a 7 string hardtail with a quilt/flame à la Ormsby/ViK etc...
Any ideas gents?
If I ever did a 7-string it would be a hardtail, even if it had to be a custom kit. And with a Fender style bridge, not a stinking Gibson-style Tuneamatic bridge.
Hmmmm.... I am sure that with the appropriate bribe (a bottle of Jamesons) Adam could look into this for you ;)
I hear you re: the obsession with FR trem bridges, i will never understand why folk like them so much. Tricky to set up, touch the trem and they go out of tune, sneeze whilst playing and they go out of tune, break a string and you have to go through the whole set up process again......
As for hard tail bridges, one of the most high value for a smallish outlay would have to be the gear made by Full Contact Hardware.
Hardtail 7 stringer is just a lot more practical...but Im a massive fan of the floyds, simply because theyre a lot of fun (once set up). For recordings, a hardtail would be useful, but if Im playing live, Id want to have fun, so floyd it is.
I use both non-trem and trem guitars live, and I couldn't say I prefer one over the other, because when using them, I play each guitar to bring out it's capabilities, not to try and make it do something it can't. That being said, my main guitar is a Les Paul...
Hey Nick, sure, you can custom order this, price just depends what style you want, IB, EX, ST, etc. Looking at around $250, with 6-8 week delivery.Quote:

Is there a seven string Bigsby? ;-)
Hi, new here and hardly get register due to some issues. Although its an old thread but I am here as I am also looking for same 7 string with quilt. Adam mentioned its price 250$ in his post. Could I still get it in 250$ and if you can share a photo, it will be great!
Hi Christine, you would have to check with Adam about the price, but the blue one in the pic two posts up is the guitar finished. There is a new page in the store about custom builds, have you looked at that yet?
