    Having been playing around with the idea of building a guitar and posting a few threads about doing such a thing ive finally made the plunge and gone for it. I managed to get a 7 string body cheap cause someone messed up trying to refinish it, and today I got the neck :D

    The neck is perfect with no fret wear whatsoever! The body has needed to be stripped but the wood is very very nice (the pic does no justice) so I might leave it natural, with maybe a mahogany dye on it. Should have it done in about two weeks, ill keep updating the pics :)

    Nice one man. Any thoughts on what pickups you're putting in there?

    No idea yet dude, have a spare set of V7-7/V7-8's here so I might use them till a bargain pops up on ebay, its only cost me 150 for the body and neck so far (50 for body, 100 for neck). On a sidenote I finally got my steve's special so I gotta wire that and the air norton into my 1820x, and hopefully the custom thrussrod cover will arrive today :D
