I believe they do cover 7 strings. Email Tim (sales@ tim always answers) with your requirements, you'll find him very informative.

I tried to suggest that guitars are like family and that I want to continue extending that family, but was shot down pretty fast. It's probably a good thing really as everytime I go on ebay these days I can't help but find bargains :D. I might see if I can trade in some of our cats!

I'm looking to get some decent Pups for my Ibanez 7, so any recommendations would be great.

Cheers

Do you mean do they make them or do they make them with covers on? yes to the former no to the latter.

I saw your Feline on their website and really like it. I have to say I'm most jealous of your Steinberger, I couldn't quite see in the pic but does it have a Transtrem? I'd love one of those, either that or a DeLap  8)

I had a really hard time finding a PRS that I liked and I eventually got mine from the states. I wanted a ce24 as I like the unfinished neck, but couldn't find any that weren't £1400 or above. The one from the states came in at around half that including the import tax. I know it's not uber cheap, but I definitely think it was worth going that route.

I got the Steinberger from SoundsGreat music in Manchester,UK. Apparently it used to belong to Johnny Marr of The Smiths. I'm not a fan so it was really just for the Leslie West Rutherford ideas. This is one that I may be selling as it seldom gets used these days :( . Oh and I just wanted to know if BK made Pups for 7 strings.

It's hard to imagine Johnny Marr with a Steinberger!  I bet he only played it in secret.

Based on what I know of him now I'd say the same. I was just impressed that it was a Newburgh model. At the mo Soundsgreat are currently selling an SG custom that's Ex-New Order, but who knows.

It does have the Trans trem too,

One thing I need to do is get some proper recording equipment. Areyou able to drive the Savage and the Mesa to the level you need? I guess I'm pretty much always using a distorted tone, so I always wonder if I can get the best from my amp at lower volumes.

Your PRS looks stunning top on it 8) .No matter how many I see, I always smile when I see a Whammy on a Les Paul shape guitar.  The PRS's look sweet and I also loved the older ESP eclipse models with the Floyd rose bridges.

Got my eye on a Custom 24.... I'll try the necks, not sure between the WT on the Custom24 or a WF on the Singlecut  :twisted:

I think the CE22 has the WF and the CE24 has the WT. From what I found the 24s neck is similar to an ibanez style neck, quite slender. The 22 was more strat/tele profile, rounder chunkier.

That's an 88 model 4. My first ever guitar. I absolutely love this baby. Plays fantastic, strung with 11s to Eb right now. The pickup is a Duncan Distortion.
The pots are volume and tone. The switches are a three way on/off/on straight to output. The one up from this one is a split. The others do nothing: I hate useless holes ;)
She'll hopefully get a neck single coil sometime soon and assorted electronics.





That's a model 1a, with a model 4's neck. Fantastic guitar and FINALLY finished after having had it in various versions for two years :D Just got a fret dress and I gave her a new nut (graphite) and saddles (graphite as well).
Pickups are a FullShred I modified with an A8 magnet, an Alnico 2 single coil and a CoolRails. I'll swap the neck and middle though I believe. Electronics are a master volume and the neck pickup's volume, the wee toggle is a split for both bridge and neck pickups, so I have two extra parrallel humbucker options as well as two extra virtual single coils.
There's a nice flame to the neck as well :D
I'm not sure what to do about the truss rod cover though as this neck obviously should have a lock behind the nut. So far I don't mind that much though so ah well.


And I play these babies through these:


The big grey pedal is a Carl Martin Plexitone prototype :D The SD1 has been modded by yours truly to sound nothing like a standard SD1. The rest of the pedals are fairly standard...

And there's also my Kramer Stagemaster which is back in Amsterdam and I miss her dearly:



In her current state she's got a volume with split and a Duncan Custom.
Do excuse the poor pics, I suck at this ;)
