The Dearmond looks rad as hell. ryan summit continues to be ultra rad. Whiskey's 'little' rig is awesome.

Oh as another tidbit. I have been using a naked string set for my seven string. It is a shorter scale length, I wanna say it is around 25" but I'm not exactly sure. I use a .70 for my low string which is tuned to A and it is pretty tight but still has a bit of give. I originally put the ernie ball 7 string set on there but the low strings were way too loose and I like the solid hits on the low notes. This is what I got from them:

String 1: .011p
String 2: .016p
String 3: .024w
String 4: .032w
String 5: .042w
String 6: .056w
String 7: .070w

The blue Dearmond is in Ryan Summits possession and will soon be in mine, the black one has 4 days left on auction. And I all ready ordered some circle K strings in the gauges I wanted to test it out.


GAS is good. :yay:

For that kind of tuning I'd go with a 30" scale guitar, but that's just me :hello:

Well I got the blue Dearmond all ready and even at 25.5" scale I got it to intonate perfectly for the tuning I'm using. It also sounds beastly :rock: the black one should be here later this week.

Also instead of moving the tailpiece back i decided to file down the bridge, and it worked like a charm. :yay: No more muffled strings with unwanted sitar overtones.

Movie in 10.

Verellen Skyhammer Pre with my Dunwich Booster slamming it until the clean part hits 2/3's of the way through and then I switch from the skyhammer to the big spider for those crazy blowing up amp sounds.
