Curious what neck carve you went with. The longer scale length makes sense with the 7 strings, as does a full maple neck given the extra potential bass frequencies. I think a swamp ash body would have been too bright. Mahogany or Cedro (Spanish Cedar) sonically would work well for classic push in the lower mids. Stunning instrument! Nothing beats empirical research when determining your ideal specs!

Absolutely stunning my friend!!!Well folks following the incoming thread, it arrived a day early. Now isn't that a nice surprise?
What's there to say? Well, to begin with, this is my absolute dream guitar. A year after I started playing seven string (after 15 years of six) and fell in love with it, I knew it (7 String) was not a passing fad and I could make the bold move of speccing my dream Private Stock 7 String. I learnt a lot of lessons with the speccing of my first Private Stock, the 594 Tremolo Piezo and I also learnt a lot about what like in terms of pickups, scale lengths etc.
The specs are as follows. I will make a second video at a later date talking about why I made each choice.
Full thickness Singlecut Shape, Tremolo, Smoked Dark Purple Glow with Gold hardware, Bare Knuckle Aftermath neck, Juggernaut Bridge, 26.5 inch scale. 594 layout.
The body is mahogany, the neck and fretboard maple. The mahogany body was a must and as I played the guitar, I am glad. It has that Les Paul tone despite the scale length and 24 frets. Tonewood sceptics flame me, but I can never get that with a Swamp Ash body, as much as I love the look. However it is incredibly light and well balanced, further reminding one why one goes Private Stock.
Anyways without further ado, here are the pics and the arrival video.
P.S: I got the wife to unbox because (a) She is much better than me with anything to do with tools (b) Let's face it, more clicks. If I go through the effort of making a video, it's great to get more views
The Black Western Tolex Case beckons
Inside lies a mighty beast
Purple and Gold and a few things more
Equally stunning from the back
Also, I haven't named the guitar yet. Suggestions welcome
Love everything about it.
You are a fortunate man.

pattern thin 7 string neck. That’s the standard neck size.
Thanks. They are a lot of fun
Hi folks, for those who asked, here is part 2 of the NGD.
This is the detailed run-through the spec , the process of ordering a Private Stock (as experienced by me) and the logic behind some of the choices. Yes, it does have Yellow Dino inlays

Yeah that is my pet peeve with 7 strings also.
The first step for PRS would be to make a 7 string core. A trem would be a plus
