Standard Series 7 string?

[bradjonesbass]

Any chance of a 7 string in the standard series? I'd like to replace my Conklin GT7 with a USA made bass, preferably a Roscoe, but can't afford one of the higher end models.

I would expect there is little 'standard' about a 7 string. Expensive bridge/hardware, considerably more wood in the next etc etc. I would expect that by the time they are done it won't be a great deal less expensive than a 'full' spec with a sold body/'basic' top.

It may be close, depending on the specs chosen for the Custom version, but I believe we could keep the price sensible EITHER way.

Since we are talking Standards here, is there any chance for guitars coming to the Standard lineup?

If I didn't suck super hard on guitar, this would be a very painful post to read.

They'll be LG's, the Century body just looks "off" as a guitar, IMO. It's too big.

There'll be Standard Plus guitars as well, just so you have even more anguish. Oh, and eventually, both dual humbucker versions, as well as HSS; and, stop tail piece or non-locking (Wilkinson) vibrato bridges.

I'd definitely pick the LG body for a guitar, I'd imagine the Centurys long horn would bring the nut too close.

My word, I can't understand how you guys do the limited options CS/CS Plus lines, but without limiting the options much....

I've been playing a bit more guitar these days in my home recordings. A Roscoe guitar would look very cool in that corner of my music room!

Mmmmhmmmm, bubinga top, birdseye maple fretboard, your favourite guitar pickups.....

Haven't the need...or the funding...but all of a sudden a seven-string standard plus is sounding mighty sexy. Alder body...koa top...rosewood board... S. L. U. R. P.
