Dave M Posted December 17, 2002 Report Posted December 17, 2002 I am just toying with the idea of a 7 string hollowbody guitar. I would probably go with a flattop single cutaway single F hole design. It would be a fairly large bodied, guitar, and would probably have Carvin humbuckers in it. (I don't have the guts to carve an archtop yet.) I would probably try to tighten up the string spacing a bit, and not make it as wide as a regular 7 string, as it would be a bit easier to play that way. I would also need to think about pickups. I was thinking of Carvins, as they have the 11 plepieces, and would have better coverage of seven strings. My other choice would be bar magnet pickups. Any other problems I would encounter? Anybody built this beast yet? The possibilities are endless here. I could see a 7 string 335 copy, or a totally custom archtop, with doubled F holes on the upper bout ,and a radical cutaway. Any plans out there? THanks, Dave If nothing else, I hope this stirs up some discussion in the acoustic column here. I can't be the only one in here who tinkers with acoustics. Quote
Brian Posted December 17, 2002 Report Posted December 17, 2002 Sounds like a cool concept............Yeah figured I would get this section up before the acoustic players found the forum, don't worry they will come Quote
Brian Posted December 19, 2002 Report Posted December 19, 2002 Closed Ebay auction, it went for a ton of money probably........ Just figured you would like to see one Quote
