Your next guitar?

The chord possibilities with this is extraordinary. Surprised my fingers fit

Really comfy (other than the extra string ) sounds good. It's a bit dark which I've heard is an issue with many 7s. Looks stunning. Set up pretty nicely out of the case

Got the last one. Ok, back to playing

Most 7's are set up dark I think. I've been listening to a bunch of recordings by bands like Electric Wizard and such. Very bass heavy.

Uncle E........thinkin' bout the plek'xer.......The E man........The E o rama.......Uncle E......

Sorry, just saw that state farm commercial

If I hadn't just seen that myself, I would have said you were about 15 years late on that one.

That's always the killer for me. Don't get me wrong I love my Tele Modern Player I play it every day trying to adjust my play / familiarity so it feels like "the one" the neck is a standard C with jumbos. The fit and finish are great... It's me. I've been used to playing slim C's with medium frets for years and years and...years. I've thought about replacing the neck but I'd rather just burn my muscle memory into the neck shape I have now.

Why not just get a Warmoth? I saw a neck with their Wizard profile for around $150 the other day. You could probably sell your Fender neck for around that same price and mount all its hardware on the Warmoth.

I find that strange because my strat, my carvin and the blue ibby have been such staples that satisfy every session. Then there is the fretless GW (the indo one.....I can't justify the japan one....it's like 3000 bucks.) Did I not NGD them? I like to buy shit. I don't always end up keeping it

Ok......now........you spoke too soon though.....that was a preliminary

The headstock is quite a bit lighter than the body. That alone could easily put it in buh-bye mode. I have to do some research to see if that is normal. If not, it's going back no matter what.

The neck is flawless. It's perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. Same with the craftsmanship, well done....except for the veneer colors

The pups are a big question mark (that's why I said "ok" when rating the sound originally) They are REALLY low output. I knew that going in, but I'm pretty shocked at HOW low they are.

Having a B string is interestingly wonderful, and confusing/frustrating. The good like I said is SO MANY possibilities! Shit you'd NEVER think about with a 6 detuned. Some of the drones are near tears. So nice. But it's like many people say about a 25.5 scale.....it's a bit flabby. This is hard to work around. If you detune it slightly to compensate, it's pretty out of tune when you play high (so certain drones are a bit out) and if you tune it tight, you have to play REALLY lightly to get it not to flab out. But I pretty much knew that this was an adventure......I'm not sending it back FOR THAT!

The headstock/body veneer not matching has me bummed. I guess I was too "ooooo/ahhhhh" at first to notice. Still, I haven't put it down much Again, with a 7, it's not just another string.....it's a completely different approach.....refreshing.

[Uncle E]

Is the body solid black limba or is that top a veneer?

[hibidy]

It's all veneer. It's an ibby!

Jaguar Pawnshop VI string bass

[mztk]

found an old spanish guitar with knackered machine heads
next to the bins, saw some new ones for 5eu in a cash exchange
place, and now it's really nice and refreshing to pick up and play.
'go to'...sh*t to play but very salutory. going to give it to a friend
so i have something to do with my hands when i go round there
and have to sit around while they disappear with 'ah just got to
make a phone call/send an email'..

Honestly, I don't want to. If it were simply a matter of swapping necks two of my Godin's and my strat already fit and are slim C's

If I swapped necks for any of my guitars it would be my other Tele (Blacktop Vintage Modified)

Nice tone and playing

I feel funny switching to one of my 6's now
