Hi all,
This is a feeler for the sale of one of my custom 7-strings. I built this one when I was in business customising guitars.
It's based on an RG7620, so it has a 7620 neck in which I replaced the fingerboard with an oiled plain maple board with a green vine inlay. It has a custom built body with a lions paw and monkey grip, made from mahogany with a thick quilted maple front, and a matching maple veneer on the headstock. It finished with a thick coat of cellulose lacquer, which has sunk into the grain slightly (as cellulose does) so it's not completely mirror-like but is polished to a shiny gloss. It has a LoPro trem, green
dimarzio blaze custom in the bridge and blaze neck. The electronics are from stewmac and it has a volume and a 5-way rotary switch (like a PRS) which allows some unusual series and parallel tones from the pickups (the electronics cavity is the same as a 7620 though so you could make a slot for a normal 5-way selector and change it to that if you wanted), and it has a jem-style
jack socket. It's in excellent overall condition - a small ding in the lacquer by the neck and some swirls in the lacquer that could be polished out, and the fingerboard's getting a bit dirty (nothing a bit of wire wool and oil wouldn't sort out). It comes in an Ibanez moulded hardcase.
I'd like around GBP£700 (shipped in the UK) for it really, and I would much prefer to sell to the UK. My E8ay name is *richf* to check feedback, and I live in Devon, UK. Any questions PM me - here are a couple of pics from when I finished building it - I can take some new pics if anyone's definitely interested.
