Seven string guitars have been designed and constructed for years while the vast majority of these instruments have inherited construction parameters from their 6 string relatives. While designing the F-1 series, our goal was to utilize a double-extended approach to 6 string guitars. As a result we proudly present you a complete new breed of 7 string monsters.
The F-1 features increased sonic range which stretches from low B, all the way to a 4th octave of high E. Taking the length of the F-1's neck into consideration, it was imperative to be perfectly stable. Therefore, we decided to construct the F1 using a 5 piece lamination process. This design required only the best quality of well seasoned, quartersawn Wenge/Maple combinations. For increased playability the F-1's fingerboard utilizes two different fret sizes. Medium jumbo frets are istalled from the 1st to 24th fret position, with Vintage sized wire running from 24 to 36.Unlike other 7 string necks, the shape is heart and soul of this instrument. You will be amazed by the F-1's unique, flat neck profile which provides thundering amounts of sustain.
As usual, our Delta Wing design approach allows for maximum ergonomics, perfect balance and easy access to the extended upper register.
F-1 means 1 pickup – 7 strings – 36 frets - The F1 is a true wizard instrument that is not for the inexperienced. Welcome aboard a true stealth fighter!
