james90 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 As far as I know, I bought the last E6, and there are no E7's for sale from new. Last before the one that is leaving me soon... but it's all good Did I post that one-off E7 I bought during my visit summer? It was literally buried under two or three other guitars upstairs at the Works, and I don't think they remembered some of them! That's the sort of stuff I dream about really... being able to sift through a stack of random guitars and find something #special like this.

james90 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I'm not entirely sure what the story behind this is, but there's only one of them - the other black ones have floyd rose bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Woah, nice black burst! I really like it! Never touched a 7 string guitar before - how big is the neck James? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 it's wider, but easy enough to get used to. not sure what the exact nut width is, but it seems like the most common one for 7 strings is 48mm (so about 6mm more than the standard 6 string) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, now I get why people complain about the 2015 line that much. It's almost the size of a 7 string O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 46mm width, but the same string spacing as the previous models. Stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played each others' guitars and made caddy comments while watching gossip girls. At least you'll have no trouble getting used to a 7 string then. 46mm width, but the same string spacing as the previous models. Stupid. It's all about innovation while keeping things traditional. I was curious to find out what the nut width on the DC lite is, as I always felt that guitar to have a wider than usual neck...... but apparently it's just 43mm. Was surprised to see that they were available in a black finish. Only ever seen them in blue and yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Woah, I didn't know that it had 24 frets. Thought it was a normal 22 frets model. This looks a lot like the "DC studio" since it doesn't have the neck binding though James, how does the middle position sound like in a MQ/NB set? And with the bridge split? I'm leaning more towards MQ/MQ *sighs* Anyone selling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning more towards MQ/MQ *sighs* Anyone selling? Yeah most of the DC models are 24 fret. These do get mistaken for DC studios as they're not exactly common, but they're pretty different. I'd say the DC standard plus is closer to the studio than the lite is. Still a nice full sound I guess, considering the bridge pickup is a bit brighter, and the neck pickup has quite a lot of low end. I rarely use the coil split though, but on some guitars (particularly the mahogany ones) it can be useful. And nope, but I still have the chrome MBK-3 bridge and MBK-1 neck set. Might also have an un-logod black covered set of the same pickups coming back to me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackjackWQ Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Welp - just ordered my sustainiac. Shipping is 70 dollars... Once that arrives my manson will be complete. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you doing the installation yourself? $70 is about right if they're sending it a service other than USPS. You'll get it much faster though (less than half the time anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this gonna be a from-scratch build or did you already get a precut body/neck and all that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it falls under the "already have the guitar and am just installing a pickup" section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 What was the original spec? And don't worry, for my most recent one, I've already changed it two or three times and I haven't even sent the deposit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't worry, for my most recent one, I've already changed it two or three times and I haven't even sent the deposit Very similar, but with the piezo, MBK-1, LEDs in the neck. Went back and forth over a few of those as well as the addition of a phase 90, one of the mini chrome knobs controlling the phase speed, then there was also talk of putting it all in a "bomber" MA shape somewhere in the middle of all the changes. #IndecisveIsAnUnderstatement EDIT: what's the plan for your next one?
