    NGD: Seventy Seven Albatross Custom

    These are made in Aksa, Japan, by a larger company called Deviser. Deviser also makes Bacchus and Momose branded electrics, and Headway acoustic guitars. This is a semi-hollow, but it is hollow behind the bridge as well, so instead of two hollow sides it has a single U shaped hollow bit. These don't show up in the US too often, but the quality is very high. Pickups have been changed to a 'Peter Green' set from Onamac Windery, which really only affects the sound when both pickups are on together. I may swap them out for something else, but I only play it on the neck pickup so it isn't an issue right now.

    It's about the same size as a Les Paul, and it has a neck like a '58 Gibson. It might actually be a bigger neck than my Baja Tele Super easy to play, very light, and a perfect little jazz guitar. All mahogany body with a maple center block, one piece mahogany neck, and bound and blocked ebony board.

      Okay, I'm mostly looking at that JEM, but that Seventy Seven looks like it'd be a great fusion axe. Very nice!

            There's a "Frosty the Snowman" sticker above the neck pickup on the body, and I think an old dinosaur sticker on the pickguard, but that's it for the black strat with the Model 1 neck. I think you're seeing a shadow maybe?

                Sorry, I'm old. Mind said pickguard, fingers typed fretboard.

                I thought it might be some kind of fancy midi dodaddery.

                  That needs a fine tuner tailpiece.

                  Partly because fine tuner tailpieces are the best, and partly to save you the temptation of the "TOP WRAPPING A TOM IS MAGIC" snake oil.

                          It literally amazes me every time I pick it up. It's exactly what I was looking for and likely won't be my last Seventy Seven.
