Decided to take the plunge on a 7 string. Some wood photos!

My man DFD was at the vault today and we communicated via-email some woods for a 7 string.

One piece maple burl, black limba body, and ziricote neck. Stoked!

Sounds incredible! Love the idea of the wooden birds. I want wooden Americana birds on my next PS I am pretty sure.

Maybe from scratch, but there was at least one conversion project the PTC did...

Been a while, but here are some updates from the PSF thread. I am stoked to say the least !

Nice to see some progress shots of our first seven. You must be stoked. Here's to the final result!

Okay, when I order a one piece (definitely) burl (maybe -- or quilt or quailme or flilt or whatever, but definitely a one-piece), it may seem like I'm copying you, but I had that in my head for a while (before you resurrected this thread so I could see it -- thanks for that by the way). Cheers. I'm definitely staining mine, though. And yes, I'm getting an ebony fretboard, too, but not sure about body and neck woods, will talk to them extensively about that.
