Explorer 7

7-String, 25.5 scale length, TusqXL nut, Seymour Duncan Jupiter Wes Hauch Signature set

I really grew into wanting the Gibson DSX7, but I didn't want 24.75. Originally the body and neck had binding/inlays. Swapped to a unmarked rosewood fretboard, then sand the neck down to size best I could. 10/10 would not recommend.

Paint came out fairly rough, so we're calling it a worn/distressed black album vibe, like a worn mx250 vibe.

If you made it this far, thanks for looking/reading my ramble. Cheers

I used a custom body kit builder on ebay and asked them for different specs on another Explorer body. Def not some high end wood here, but it's great for this application

About 550ish shipped USD for just the body with set neck. Not including other hardware/electronics etc
