SY7 7-string Prototype - "Copperhead"

My second build. First neck (yikes!). Took what I liked about the Ibanez RG bodyshape and tweaked it to suit my tastes - bridge-end curve of the body is slightly more oval-shaped and raked forward at the top, the middle curves between the pickups are narrower giving it bigger "hips", and the upper and lower horns are thinned out a bit.

Specs:

Body - Mahogany with carved flame maple top, faux maple binding

Neck - Maple with birdseye maple fingerboard, flame maple headstock plate with two-tiered design

Scale length - 25.5"

Radius - 16"

Truss rod - Allparts

Tuners - Schaller locking, chrome

Nut - Graphtech black Tusq

Frets - 24, stainless steel 6100 super-jumbo

Inlays - Acrylic amber swirl

Bridge - Hipshot 7 fixed, chrome

Pickups - Seymour Duncan Blackout matched set

Electronics - 1 x volume, 1 x 3-way toggle

I suppose that, having won recently, I should sit on my hands for a while; but I thought it might be fun to enter something a bit different than my usual fare.

Plus, it's my birthday :D

The top is curly eastern red cedar. I have never seen figure like this in this species before; a lucky find!

Schroeder bridge, Lindy Fralin Humbuckers with covers I put together from open nickel covers from Mojotone and some tortoise pickguard material.

More tortoise in the control plate, with an overlay cut from nickel silver sheet.

Neck is red mulberry, black walnut and osage orange, back is salvaged yellow poplar.
