Offset 7 string baritone build

Post by yob » Mon Apr 28, 2025 8:24 am

Wanted to share my new build with you OSG guys.

I build this one for me, I use 7 strings exclusively for my sludge/doom band, but most off the shelves 7 string have thin neck that hurts my left hand grip.

I went for a 21 frets neck, thick C profile (since I never play past fret 17 anyway :P) , 28" scale, minimalistic layout, small fretboard dots...


Specs are:
- European ash body
- Burnt and steel wire brushed, India ink / wipe on poly
- maple neck thick C profile, 28" scale lenght
- maple fretboard 20" radius, 21 jumbo frets
- Adaptated strat headstock
- Framus locking tuners
- DiMarzio Evo 7 with a single 1 meg pot
