Yeah, its really expensive...but SOOOOO awesome! Has a roasted neck for sure and I think one of his also has a roasted body as well?
I could see doing it through Musikraft as they offer both roasted body and necks...unfortunately Warmoth doesn't do roasted bodies (I've asked a couple of times.)
EDIT: According to this listing it has a roasted basswood body.

I like the Stephen Carptener seven strings now. Was never a fan of that pickup combo in the first run, even if they were SD's.
Have you had a chance to play either? Only reason I ask is that for almost 10 years an Ormsby was at the top of my list, and then I was lucky enough to play several and as nice as they were, the necks didn't feel right for me. It's such a unique thing, and this is in no way a negative comment, just a personal feel thing.What's that one guitar you most aspire for? Been looking at some Ormsby and Knaggs recently, though not quite enough $ to get one right now.

I have never played a knaggs, but I think they would definitely be worth a look.

For a while I wanted a Gibson Explorer 7 string in silverburst. That hasn't changed.
