    Fitted some Gotoh tuners and bolted neck on today and fitted Hipshot bridge. Still to complete the body finish and tidy up the ferrules on the back of the guitar. Will hopefully have wired by end of next week and near completion.

    Bloody hell the back almost looks as good as the front. Great work mate!

    Very nice... Except for the slipshod bridge

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    I've just bought a resomax wraparound bridge got great reviews looks great too. Not sure if they do 7 string versions


    Also the wilkinson wraparound gets good reviews and is a great price again not sure about 7 string options
    Maybe worth a look though.the quilt on body and grain on headstock looks great

    Always learning and having "DOH" moments- when one of the first things you do is knock the old nut off the neck and later on measure it up to get a bone one from DB, but don't actually check that the original was actually a correct fit for the guitar.
    Now need to move the slot for High E in at least a mm.

    So year and a half between posts on this and finally finished today.
    Hipshot 7 Bridge
    Bone nut
    Lace Alumitone in Neck
    Lace Alumitone Deathbucker in Bridge
    CTS 250K Volume with treble bleed circuit.
    Switchcraft Toggle
    Standard tuners
    Fully setup but wont stay consistently in tune at the moment. Will do a sound video when a) work out how to load. b) sort the tuning issue which may require new tuners.
