I have never seen a seven string guitar. What do you call it, besides Rob Stanley?

It's called Lasangeman. 7 string electrics are pretty common these days in heavy music, as are 8 strings. The extra strings are lower notes, so you can make very low heavy riffs. Very cool!!!

Thanks

I'm pretty sure it's from a Disney store, so you might find one on their site. I've been thinking about picking up a black Christmas tree for next year. How do you like yours?

I bought myself a 1311. Santa brought a book, The Science of Good Cooking [/I, some kitchen utensils, and some J. Geils Band CDs.

I really wish I could play but my brain doesn't lean to the musical side.
BTW that is truly a thing of beauty!

They are Carvin active pickups and the guitar is made entirely of walnut. The top of the body and the headstock are figured walnut. It's a very nice wood.

Walnut! ... sounds heavy

For some reason, I thought you' be a vibrato bridge kind of guy.

I am! But I decided to go for the fixed bridge this time. The walnut isn't much different as far as weight goes compared to mahogany. My Suhr is solid mahogany and they're about the same weight, the Carvin being ever so slightly heavier.

I can imagine a Busse guitar with double cut INFI hardware, a layer of black canvas covering the body for the black canvas Micarta look (or completely made out of Micarta?), and red-and-black G10 binding.

Only knives go into the double cut bead-blasting machine though. I asked!

That's a shame,I would like to have my SP101 double cut. I could have it bead blasted though.

The only malfunctions were operator errors either from my wife and or friends. On mine you definately have to power stroke it til it was broken in anyway.
Ya figure its the smallest .45 on the market so things are bound to be a little tight til theyre broken in.
