Custom semi hollow soapbar Custom 24 7 string Clint Lowery

Think I am pretty set for a while. Curious to try a soap bar or eg single coil. The custom 24 covers that fairly well. So maybe the seven stri g or the clint lowrey. The clint has a mahogany wide fat neck and the first se to have a prs adjustable stoptail. In no rush to get them and really...

What a great project you have going here. Want to do the same thing myself but don't see me finding a project guitar like yours. Can't wait to see the finished results!

Sorry to hear about your problems. Hope things work out well for you and your wife. Your guitar looks like a all grown up version of the se custom 24 I just got. Wish I had the skills to justify getting a guitar like that. To you and your wufe god bless.

The single sound is great I think. Don't have much experiance with single coils. Quite a surprise how much cleaner it sounds in single coil mode. Makes me want to put it into my 245. The tone nob is a little loose and has a low curve. I just assume it is how it works when you add push pull to a...

I don't have anything sensitive enough to measure that accurately. Just a wooden ruler like I had in school. I mainly just go by what feels right. Now that I have it all smoothed out it feels much better. I had to take a utility knife to widen the nut slot for my a. Was so fixated on getting the...

Thanks for posting that video. Never liked shredding videos. You just don't get to hear how the guitar really sounds with all those effects layered on top. Was going to eventually get an Ibanez rg7620. Love the simply comfortable body carve on my rg570. Like others I am not so much into the...

That's some pictures of the factory saddle height. So I thought that was how it was ment to be setup. Looked odd since the saddles looked all the same. Like how the low e slot wasn't deeper than the high e. Didn't understand why the high e was so much lower than the low e. Figured they knew...

Ok spent another three hours working on it. Got the set screws level as I could. May have to take it apart again as I think I was just a bit off on one. Really hard to tell without whatever tool they use to level it out. Had to really lower the action but was finally able to get it to...

Ok here are some attempts to get a good picture. Will try again with better lighting.

Definitely more color options the better. Tried to special order several different purple guitars. They were all gone though. Maybe musicians friend will get some special colors for the 7 string. CantankerousCarl Where did you see a purple se custom 25? I looked everywhere I could...

Wow thanks for those pics. I will definetly take some pics of mine when I get off of work at five tomorrow morning. That's a relief seeing that its a bit off on purpose. Just looking at your pick my low e is definetly higher. That may be a problem. Will check on that when I get home...

The trem is definetly lopsided. The neck pickup is even with the neck and the bridge is far as I can tell parallel to the neck pickup. The trem is about 1mm closer to the bridge pickup on the bass side. Tried to measure the block but the cavity route is a bit uneven so I couldn't get a goid...

Mikegarveyblues Thanks for all the tips. How do you adjust the action? I assume it is by the individual saddles heights? Haven't gotten to the action yet but the neck sure had a lot of arch in it. Took me almost a quarter turn to get it set. Was doing this after a long shift. Now...
