Summary:
"Eldin" is a 7-string super-strat design that is completely original yet familiar in looks and feel. Capable of every genre from blues, indie, shoegaze, all the way to progressive, hard rock, and extreme metal. Versatility was the main goal with this design, and should be very comfortable to anyone who's played a strat-style guitar, just with an extra string if that's your thing(hey, there's a hit lyric idea)!
Woods:
Fresh out of the oven! Torrefied woods are the main theme-- with a roasted ash body, roasted figured maple neck and roasted birdseye maple fretboard, the guitar is is a stable as can be, lightweight, and tonally it sings and resonates as well as any old growth wood thanks to the aging characteristics from the torrefaction process. Another unique aspect is the beautiful darkening of the woods, no stains were used in this build, just a hand rubbed polymerized tung oil finish.
Pickups -
From Bare Knuckle:
The Impulse 7 string series are full, tight pickups that embrace down-tuned guitars but can also handle medium-gain applications for full, muscular, rock-mids. Progressive players will love the versatility and harmonic richness. Down-tuned metal players will love the fullness and tightness they get without any mud, especially if they're using an amp with a thick low-midrange. People playing in open or alternative tunings with a lot of range will like the consistency in tone, compression and feel between registers. Rock players will love the full and muscular mids of the humbucker and how it handles medium gain applications.
Bridge/Tremolo -
From Gotoh:
The Gotoh GE1996T is the best of the high end licensed Floyd Rose tremolo models. Made with premium components…hardened steel baseplate, specially processed steel saddles, and machined brass trem block. Saddles are nicely rounded without any sharp edges.
