SEVENS - Point9

This instrument was a long time in the making and is made of timber pulled out of bins. The body came out of a dumpster belonging to a local carpentry firm that makes its own laminates, it's all Beech ply, 44mm thick. The neck is laminated up from some sections of Beech taken from an old school desk that had been broken up and thrown out, two strips of Walnut from the same dumpster as the body made up the laminate, along with a veneer for the headstock. The fingerboard is made of something pretty hard, but I still haven't identified it, found it thrown out from a local workshop. The scratch plate is an offcuts of 2mm MDF which I sprayed up, as is the truss rod cover. The bridge is made out of an old steel angle bracket with some saddles off a broken up guitar, the knobs came off an old stereo, the nut from an old acoustic guitar bridge.

All other hardware (apart from the frets, fingerboard dots, electronics) are second hand. Pickup is a MusicMan Stingray bass humbucker, Schaller M6 tuners. It's a weird hybrid of a thing, 600mm scale length (23.5" ish), 4 heavy gauge strings set at bass spacing, tuned to B/D/F*/D for shits and giggles. Kinda fun through a heavy distortion but has a nice tone clean and good sustain. So far the Beech neck is holding up well to the heavy tension...
