To those who looked high & low for cream 7 string rings here is my solution Make your own, take four rings & buy a small miter & a razor saw at a craft store cut each half to percise measurments & take scraps & melt in acetate to make a paste glue to remelt the halves together then file & polish with a fingernail files & buffers

I went with vintage 59 les paul spec for my 7 string Lp you must keep everything on treble side the same ( so normal pickguards & knob locations are the same ) move extra pickup & neck width to the bass side . You must relocate the toggle switch

my neck blanks are 30 1/4" X 3 1/8" X 3 1/8 I am building a 7 string LP korina quilt/flametop with a old brazilian rosewood compound radius fingerboard which after radiusing is extra thick 1/4" ON ITS THINNEST EDGE

These were made for 6 months in a limited # in 2000 & were set up in the Gibson USA custom shop & are made of mahogany & have a maple tops & are very good deals

looking to make a compensated nut for a 7 string Les Paul though 6 string versions are availiable 7 strings are not .Is there a Mathematical formula to be able to fiqure the requirments for the B string nut slot ( being that I would be able to copy the others from the 6 string version }

The Mini Tube Amp Circuit runs on a single 9 volt battery, and battery life is excellent. This is not the 1/10th watt or 1/5th watt amps that are used in so many tiny amps and onboard, all-in-one guitars- this is a full fire-breathing 2.5 watts of power!. The trim pot is basically a Preamp control- low for clean jazzy "woody" tone, jack it up for a bit of tube-like overdrive. seen these on ebay not sure if it may be helpful for these type of projects

you might be inviting more problems than you need to here. first, you'll need to get the signal TO the neck or headstock. (of course it CAN be done, but it does add complexity to the construction of the neck.) second, the relationship between the origin of the mechanical energy and the string will change, depending on where the string is fretted, or if it is open. that will how well the system is coupled. i THINK you will be better off, having your mechanical system return the energy near the bridge end of the string. cheers, unk ACOUSTIC SUSTAINER ADVANTAGES: The acoustic type of Sustainiac Sustainer (MODEL C) produces the most natural feedback sustain. This means it is most like getting feedback from a big, loud amplifier. It puts sound energy into the guitar headstock, which then gets transferred to the strings. Feedback is very intense and instantaneous, unless you purposefully have the intensity controls turned down. Most played notes will change into a harmonic after a short time, like you get with natural amp feedback. However, the MODEL C sustain is not all fundamentals in one mode and all harmonics in another mode, like the magnetic sustainer (STEALTH & STEALTH PLUS) does. Furthermore, unlike the magnetic sustainer, all of your pickups will function normally when you use the of Sustainiac MODEL C The acoustic transducer design vibrates the headstock of your guitar in response to the amplified played notes. You can feel it when playing. The intense neck vibration makes the strings vibrate very intensely. This makes the amplified signal stronger, and so on. Feedback builds up quickly. You can but more energy back into the guitar thru the headstock end simply it's easier to move ( vibrate

My 7 string Les Paul is going to feature lots of new grounds from a flame/quilt maple top to a korina body/neck with a Balsa core, extra thick Brazilian rosewood fingerboard (compound radius 9"- 14 "), compound neck from a large V to a slim C as you go up, real vintage celluloid inlays, compensated ivory nut, with a faded & aged Nitro finish ...So I am trying to keep the vintage 50's vibe but incorporate modern new aspects. The sustainiac Model C is a electro-acoustic enhancement device that puts the energy back into the guitar & lets you use your regular pickups , My thoughts is it possible to make a driver that is long & thin that can be built into the neck or headstock that can be stealth that vibrates the energy into the neck & strings & still use the Sustainiac out board pedal device to drive the driver

I have been in the works developing a high end Flame/quilt korina 7 string LP guitar & have been wanting to incorporate a electro -acoustic style sustain system that has the driver built into the headstock & would appreciate any help in its development . I am shooting for a 07/07/07 completion date kimble10@msn.com
