heya bkp'ers
decided to branch out into the 7 world . all high end 7 purchase here in oz are done online. no shops carry quality 7 guitars to try . so instead of gambling on a ibanez prestige 7 from some factory im going to an aussie builder not far from me who's work is very highly regarded.
http://www.etguitars.com/homeim going for the katana 7
he may well be on here.
what up Erine.
he's a bkp dealer and he flagged my suggestion of a Miracle Man set , which I respect in a builder . if my idea is bad tell me .
he suggested a Cpig for the bridge which I'm down with. got an A pig in my tele style and love it . get the tele down to drop c here and there and the A pig handles it in a weird bright wood guitar but can see how any lower the ceramic needs to come in
neck PU's the question mark
specs are these
■Body - Swamp Ash with thick Wenge top (African), natural oil finish.
■Neck - Wenge 3-piece, with Flamed Maple skunk stripe, and Carbon Fibre rod (twin) reinforcement. Ebony fretboard with Abalone offset dot inlays, 25 Dunlop 6100 Stainless Steel frets.
I am going a normal scale over the extended 27" on the website. I dont go that low to G or F . std 7 or drop A is where I'm at.
i need a neck good for clean stuff to match a Cpig cause my experience with the Apig does tell me its a good idea . cold sweat or holy diver maybe, I'm not sure . wenge mixed with swamp ash is a new thing to me .
I have a NB set in another guitar and really like the neck clean so I'd even go there in the 7 string model if thats gonna work .
big clean sounds with delay for apreggio/rythmic chord tone melodies is my neck thing. I do like some high gain solos on the neck but it needs to sound good clean and big in the front of mix number 1 .
ideas would be awesome
edit - Im not against a pig neck if that is gonna give me what I want. I have heard some Pig neck clips I really like clean
thanks
