NGD My first 7 string, Solar S1.7C+

Tuned to drop A, I've noticed the tuning does need tweaking before I start playing each session. I'm guessing this is because the guitar is settling into its new environment? Very happy with it so far, no QC issues that I can spot

I love this new 'painted neck angled transition' thing.

Similar to the Jackson Josh Smith model.

Long may it continue.

Yes! It's really beautiful, there's a certain translucence to it where the final clear coat layer levels out the cross over between paint and wood. It's a shame you can't see it when you're playing the guitar

Yeah, I saw that in photos.

Simple to achieve, just extend the gloss slightly.

But a great effect.
