7 String Ironbird project/conversion

[Thrull]

Been wanting a 7 string Ironbird for a long time, but due to my inability to ever hold onto a seven stringer it wasn't exactly cost effective to order a handmade at 5 grand a pop now these days. So I opted to make my own. I tracked down both an N7 Warlock and a body art ironbird cheap and went to work converting the ironbird body to accept the 7 string neck, pickup and 7string kahler. Also had to address that hideous graphic. So I ended up with this. After a good fret level and crown, it now plays like smearing butter in keira knightly. And of course it sounds insane with the Cermaic Warpig with black cover!


here are some in progress shots

thanks bro, i must admit though, the paint is just rattle can, so is the binding, sure beats the lame ass graphic though. I may have it properly painted someday though

Awesome work!

I have an RG7 that I painted in the same way, more or less. Really uneven, lots of runny paint and drips and what not.. I think it looks cool as hell!

I knew there would be a Kahler in this thread, but I had to make sure. Looks good!

i can take or leave the actual guitar, but i do admire your attitude in performing all the work. you're rightly pleased :)

This is one of those threads where I can't see the pics on my work computer (apart from the Ewok!)

Looking forward to seeing this when I get home later.

A fine looking guitar for sure, love the kahler!
