Hey ya!
I have a very talented friend of mine that makes amazing custom guitars here in Brazil.
That nice guy also helps me on some of my own custom works and i'm kinda his student on the art of the luthierie... so. (lots of good precious info about neck construction, inlaying fretboards, etc...).
Then i just visit his custom shop 2 or 3 times a week, since he's 2 blocks away my house.
During one of those visits, i was amazed by a NEW 7 string MONSTER he did.
Those are the specs:
7 string V-Shape (maybe Jackson, maybe Schecter, maybe Dean, whatever);
set-neck, 27 frets, sharktooth inlays;
brazilian mahog body;
brazilian rosewod fretboard
brazilian pau-marfim neck;
1 EVO7, 1 volume w/ pushpull
LO-TRS 7 from RG7420
Gotoh locking studs that makes this beauty stay in tune perfectly, just like a Lo Pro Edge7;
Here's some quick pics i took of this beauty:
Me and her!

The happy owner (JOBAM, a great guy!)
So, when it was set-up'ed, i did a 3 minute video, so then please excuse my sloppy and boring playing.
It was also slighty out-of-tune since it was brand new strings and the nut wasn't locked just yet.
The neck/headstock isn't heavier than the body, so playing this monster is really comfy and nice.
The EVO sounds really good, warm, creamy, and using the push-pull delivers a very nice clean tone. Also, it screams like a hungry starved baby!!!!
Def a Mortal Machine!!!

P.S.: This guitar isn't for sale and unafortunelly ARS Guitars don't take international orders.
