Djent Walnut 7 strings
My most challenging instrument so far. This is a 7 strings guitar so far from
my comfort zone and from what I'm used to on a guitar. It was a great challenge
that I accepted to build for a friend. It has almost all of the modern and technical
features that we could think of, starting with the 11 ply neck through design,
the hand cut and radiused ebony fanfret fingerboard, the completely carved back,
individual string through body bridges, complex electronics... A great challenge
indeed that I'm proud to have accepted as it was a great learning opportunity
and my friend seems to be really happy with the guitar. He took the photos bellow
(and a lot more) and I could really see the love for the instrument when I
received them and discovered all the close-ups he took!
