Orbital Guitars | Custom 7-String Guitar Build Ziricote/Black Limba, Take 2 (Full Build) @OrbitalGuitars | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 4 hours ago
The inspiration for this build was just an idea I had one day to make a Les Paul style guitar in a way that Gibson or Epiphone never would. I've seen LPs with 7 strings, and I've seen LPs with Floyd Rose bridges, but never both on the same guitar. I've never seen a LP with neck-through construction, and to make this guitar completely alien to every LP I've ever seen I decided to make this guitar with three single coil pickups too. The other inspiration behind this build was the extremely negative response to a video I made in 2017 in which I made a guitar out of Ziricote and Black Limba, so I decided to use those same materials again for this guitar. This is one of the strangest, yet most oddly compelling guitars I have made to date.
This is the complete build video on the making this custom guitar, the build was completed on July 12th, 2020.
The body is Black Limba (also known as Black Korina), the neck is Black Limba and Wenge, and the fretboard is Birdseye Maple with an Ebony inlay.
The pickups are the Cobra Coil set from Bare Knuckle Pickups.
The bridge is a Pro Series Floyd Rose 7 string bridge.
Gotoh Tuners.
The knobs are simple gold metal dome knobs.
