DeArmond S67 7-String Guitar

Studying or practicing Ear Training?  If you're a musician, you should be.  You'll find my Palm software Ear Trainer invaluable.  Also, I teach guitar lessons in Orange County, CA.  (See OCGuitarLessons.com)

Moved Strap Peg
 
 
This guitar is modeled cheaply after the famous Gibson/Epiphone SG.  I think it's a really handsome shape, but DeArmond skimps on the beveled edges that are pretty vital to the original style.  Since the SG shape has a relatively short upper horn, it's balanced much better with the strap peg on the back of the neck joint instead of on the upper horn.  But DeArmond's S67 was a bolt-on, so they just put the peg on the horn anyway, but (as on my re-shaped Fernandes) I moved it back to the joint by making it share a screw with the neck-joint, which worked out fine.  (The strap peg is fastened by the upper-left neck-plate screw.  The hole on the horn is still visible.)
