My latest build and the first complete guitar out of the new Magnolia DE shop.

A 7 string Classic 60 features Swamp ash body, Maple & Satine neck with glow in dark side dots and 2 way truss rod that adjusts without moving the center string. Hipshot bridge, Gotoh HAMP tuners, bone nut SD pick ups...... and more!

Sweet axe, Brian. Very subtle - under the radar, so to speak.

Beautiful! ...but I wouldn't know what to so with the extra string...

Brian, I've seen several people bolt their necks on this way. What are those metal inserts that surround the screws, and is the neck screwed on a la Fender, or do those screws go into inserts on the neck?

Just individual bushings for each screw rather than the plate. The plates can get bent at the corners when you tighten the screws. Plus I could widen the pattern a bit for the wider 7 string neck.

Here is a link to the parts https://www.allparts.com/AP-5260-010-Pack-of-4-Chrome-Neck-Screw-Bushings_p_462.html
