    And is it on purpose that the string through holes aren't exactly lined up?

    It is on purpose, lots of 7's do that to varying extents, no idea why tho. Probably something to do with slight extension of scale length.

    I love Redwood. I kicked off a build with Blackmachine in 2007, the plan was that I'd get a nice piece of flamed Redwood for the top. After loads of delay and the luthier getting ripped off by a US supplier it didn't happen.

    That made me a sad panda, but I came out alright in the end:



    These were taken the day I picked it up. It's got 4 years of battle scars now!

    That's a fantastic looking B7, but are they really worth the cost (they have rocketed recently due to them making very few of them). I know there is a lot of hype and a lot of luthiers are copying the design/premise but always wondered if there is significant difference between a £2000 guitar and the £10000+ these things now go for?

  3. If your after a PJ MIJ its not just the aerodyne. Ive got one of these and its sounds and plays fantastic, the only slight annoyance is because its based on a '62 the truss rod adjustment its at the heel and no access. Think its probably a bit heavier than an aerodyne as well but nicely ballanced.

    I think it's the 'given' thing that rankles. Sure, they've made it very easy to delete if you don't want it, but it would have caused them less adverse publicity if they had 'offered' the album and made it just as easy for someone to choose to accept it.

    If someone broke into your house (with no damage) and left a copy on your coffee table would you be thankful or would you think it was a bloody cheek?

    But your itunes account hasn't been broken into. As with most of these things people don't read terms and conditions (i don't), mainly because the iTunes one is longer than Macbeth to put people of reading that companies can pretty much do what they want.

    Bear in mind that's wenge you're looking at; it's a pretty open grained wood so you might be seeing flash reflecting off one of the striations but for the money you'd have to pay it does need further inspection.

    ^ This. Looks to be the open grain of wenge to me. If anyone is willing to take the trip that could be one hell of a bargain.
