Meshuggah guitar photos...anyone got 'em?

Jupiter · #1 09-08-2002, 01:59 AM

Hey guys!
The old link to those new Meshuggah Nevborn guitars doesn't work anymore, and i need some pictures of them. I'm preparing to modify the body on project: Kermit, and i may chop off that lower horn like the Nevborns have, but i'll need some more pictures to work with. If anybody has them, or has a link to them, or knows where i can get some pics, please post!
Thanks!

The first pic had to be downsized for the server, but here you go.

Niiice!

Both the 7-string and the 8-string look awesome. Interesting design choice to fit them with a zero fret.

Every guitar should have a zero fret if you ask me :(

Very.

mmmmm I'll be the first (and possibly only) to disagree. I don't like 'em at all. They look just like ugly basses.

btw...it's the pic or the truss rod bolt is HUGE?

Awesome ! Thanks a million.
Tsorovan, i'll have to agree with you... all guitars should have zero frets... i mean, it just makes more sense.
Thanks again!

Also, please don't forget what happened this very day 29 years ago; Pinochet's military coup in Chile, supported by the US administration.

Here's a newer scan for you from October's Guitar World. These are the two 7-strings they've been using for Ozzfest this summer.

They've apparently ditched the zero frets. It sure looks like Thordendal's guitar is the same one that Marten had in those other three pics, but retrofitted with a lo-pro edge & locking nut. (You can see that same fat truss rod bolt that caprile spotted in the actual pic.)

tell me, that 8th string, it wouldn't be lower G?

if so that string has a brown note for sure, being that deep

and who do you suppose is making the pickups for these 8 strings? that cant be cheap! anyone know the brand/model of what they are using?

The new issue Guitar One has a story on Meshuggah and some pics of their 7-string Nevborn guitars.

I believe they tune it to F.

Some songs they added an octaved low-B (yes, the same as the 5-string basses lowest string) below their standard 7-string tuning.

Is that the November edition of Guitar One? Man, I need to get down to Barnes and Noble ASAP.

Tsorovan · #15 09-20-2002, 06:11 PM

For some songs they have them tuned in E, which to me, suggests that they always have it tuned that way (except when they play Spasm which is in Bb). Doesn't make much sense for them to only downtune a half step for half of the songs.
