Well no offense Jason, but it's the money that will be a problem for most people
I can't imagen that there would be even one musician that doesn't want a custom build instrument for him / her. Dreaming is easy, making it realistic is something else

Yeah thats what I'm talking about. Honestly if i was still gassing after receiving both of these basses i'd feel pretty damn selfish! Also i'll be 25 and it'll be time to start remodeling a house and thinking about having a kid... so those two money pits are pretty never ending =p
You look older on that photo!
Haha, it's easy to look old when most of the photo is a beard and you scrunch your face up. Here's a pic of me hopefully not looking that old =p
Lemme tell you this : If I would have bumped into you on the street and you would have asked me how old I think you would be, I would answer 28.
There are some. I don't know if I'd call it a lot. I mostly ordered the acoustic as a 7 because I had been listening to some harp guitar players and thought adding the 7th string was a little more practical.
I don't really play metal, so the amount of non-metal 7 string playing is a little more on the rare side. The 7 string jazz guitar actually dates back to the 1930s with Van Epps.
I approach the 7 string guitar a lot more like a bassist would approach the low B string. I use it for position playing, transposing, and some lower register work.
Yes, there is a small amount of folks like this. The rest just sound like Guitar Center on a Saturday.
Thankyou very much for your reply, Jason! Ordering the fretted double-cut to accompany it sounds like a great idea - you will have your own complete set-up then, and a very original and beautiful one it will be too!
Do you have any idea of a possible completion date for the current one?
And I just wanted to add, for Spade2You, that this guitar looks so elegant and so perfect... Enjoy it when it comes!

I also have this Greg German 7 string hollow body on layaway.
I'm going to be working a LOT of overtime this year.
Can't wait!
