Hell I can barely handle 6 strings, more power to you with 7, beautiful guitar!

 

[jimilee]

there will be demos… but are you talking just unplugged? That would be the fairest comparison, and even then it’s honestly pretty subtle

Sure, whatever you can give us.

It’s not any harder… it not any easier… it’s just a bit different.

Spectacular!

Wow! All the details so well thought out. Like this threaded insert. Anyone know what these are called? I'd like the security of a machine screw instead of a wood screw in many places on several guitars.....

It’s just a threaded insert. There are brands like E-Z lock that specifically make them for hardwood.

I searched for that yesterday, and got zilch. Today I get threaded inserts. Sometimes I hate google.....

edited: Wait, I looked at my history, I searched from splined threaded inserts. Kept getting pots.....

Beautiful guitar!

A bit haunting looking into that finish, a lot of faces I see — like Bilbo looking into the Dead Marshes on the way to Mordor...

I think you might mean Frodo. Not that I'm being precioussss...

Man alive is that a beautiful guitar! I look forward to hearing it

Me too, I haven’t had much time to play it yet.

Thats the one down side to building, it eats up that playing time.

So true, I got a couple on deck to finish and will probably shift gears for a while…. Need to get my chops back.

I've got the opposite going on. Now I've got a band back together again I've been playing so much I don't have time to do any building.

Get the chops back and reignite my lust for a seven string guitar.

Band?!?! What is this word you speak of?

This is me lately. I stepped back from pedals to focus on building my triptop amp which has now led me to just playing/shedding far more than building.

Playing music is the best and sometimes it's easy to lose sight of that. I wake up every day with an urge to make something, and making music is best of all

Is it as glorious as I believe it to be?

Triptop- will be glorious
Shedding- is glorious
Bigboy build avoidance- not glorious

100%. I've been playing and writing a lot recently. I didn't realise until recently how much I missed writing original material.
