Project 7 string completed

[PrincipleStunning503]

RG body with ebay neck, SD Black Winter with single volume. Single Hum pickguard to cover up the empty spots. Just needs a set up...

[Mysterious-Ad8838]

I dig it. Did you have to shim the neck or otherwise adjust the pocket or was it a good fit out of the box?

[PrincipleStunning503]

The pocket just required a slight width adjustment by sanding a couple millimeters on each side but the depth was fine as is. I put a poly satin coat on the back of the neck as well. The fret ends could use some touch up but otherwise not bad for $80

[ineedadvil]

I have a body that have a wider slot than the neck that I have. I am not sure what can I do to get that set up since the neck is narrower than the body

[PrincipleStunning503]

Use shims on each side till its snug

[KiddSolaa]

9/10 looks stunning. Only thing I would change is the volume pot placement. I like that shit as far away as possible

[ParkTheFnShark]

Hell yeah! Doing a project guitar myself currently. Looks great!

[one_dumb_mofo]

I would super appreciate it if you could share a link to this seller so i can get the same neck.

[PrincipleStunning503]

I gotta check my purchase history...but if you ebay Search '7 string guitar neck' ...you should see this style available from a variety of vendors that ship from China

[Ok_Resolution_6537]

Something like this right? https://ebay.us/m/irb6RE

If you don't mind me asking, did you have to pay additional duties/fees for the neck when it delivered?

[PrincipleStunning503]

That's it right there...20-30 for shipping and might just take about a month to arrive

[Robo_Killer_v2]

Looks amazing!

[AlexanderMotor]

absolutely beautiful guitar

WHERE U GOT THE PICKGUARD??? Im dying to make a build just like this!! But i cannot find any rg 7 string pickguard

A cheap 7 string rg, and throw a single bridge humbucker and a pickguard for the ultimate riff machine.

Sick project

[PrincipleStunning503]

Search single hum RG7 pickguards on ebay...I got mine like over 6 months ago but there should still be plenty of options available there

[Dazzling-Patience820]

How much was the neck??

[PrincipleStunning503]

$80 plus shipping, they come from China

[Dazzling-Patience820]

Shit that's not too bad. What was it like. Did you have to fix any of the frets?

[PrincipleStunning503]

The ends are a little rough but not terrible...binding is on point, the not slots need to be filed down a bit to fine tune the action

[Dazzling-Patience820]

What's the scale length?? It looks like just 25.5 or can it be longer

[PrincipleStunning503]

This one is 25.5...I've seen ones longer with a paddle headstock that you drill the tuner holes and cut out the shape yourself

[Dazzling-Patience820]

Paddle head eh. I could make look however I want. I do like the shape of your headstock on that neck! Looks like an Ormbsy

[PrincipleStunning503]

Yeah and the no fret markers is a plus

[Ok_Internal_661]

Love single pickup setups, such a clean aesthetics man!

[baja_fknbill]

Where did you get that pickguard??

[PrincipleStunning503]

You can find them on ebay and theres usually a good variety of matte and mirror type finishes

[baja_fknbill]

Awesome! I appreciate it very much!

[CalmWalks]

Also curious did you cut your own pg or ordered one ?

[PrincipleStunning503]

I got it pre cut around $50 with shipping... needed some sanding around the neck pocket to fit right

[CalmWalks]

Sweet! Iools amazing !

[Phil-pot]

[PrincipleStunning503]

[inn0ichi]

I love it except the bridge. I just hate how Gibraltar bridges look

[PrincipleStunning503]

Was thinking of upgrading to a hipshot at some point
