Members Jkater Posted May 21, 2013 Members Share Posted May 21, 2013 This is a custom Taku Sakashta 7 string, completed in 2009. The body is a 16" lower bout, top carved from Sitka spruce. The back and sides are quilted big leaf maple. Neck is a 40 yr old piece of Spanish Cedar. Fretboard, finger rest, tailpiece, bridge, headstock veneers, etc are all carved,from African Blackwood. The guitar has a Vermont made Kent Armstrong 14 pole PAF with a hidden series/split/parallel mini toggle under the finger rest. Sidenote from thread starter : This guitar belongs to fellow forumite MikeSF. I wrote to him to ask permission to feature one of his seven strings jazz guitars and he responded kindly, as he always does, sending pics and description. I am a huge admirer of Mike's work (music and photography). Big thanks! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted May 21, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 21, 2013 It's hard to say anything apart from "it's utterly beautiful". I love the Munch Screamholes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mikeSF Posted May 21, 2013 Members Share Posted May 21, 2013 ok, that's HOT...but I am biased. I still remember posting my New Guitar Day Thread here in HCEG in 2009 and all the excitement which accompanied the arrival of this beauty: http://www.harmonycentral.com/t5/Electric-Guitars/My-ULTIMATE-new-guitar-day-TONIGHT/m-p/23493628/highlight/true#M2931744 The links to the pictures are no longer working in that thread, but it's still a fun read. Thanks EVERYONE for your comments and thanks Richard for featuring it today on "Hot or Not". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PurpleTrails Posted May 22, 2013 Members Share Posted May 22, 2013 Gorgeous guitar, but I would have no use for it, mainly because I kind of suck at playing jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
