\"Aviator<\/p>\n

Taking after the massive combat aircraft, this Bomber 7 from Aviator Guitars drops thunderous notes with an incredible seven-string multi-scale design. The longest string has a scale length of 37.5 inches, which is a solid 3.5 inches longer than a traditional bass scale. In fact, the model was created just for this particular feat. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bomber model was developed specifically for this project and oversized to accommodate the long Scale and balance the heavy neck,\u201d Aviator writes, adding that it also comes in four- and five-string versions. <\/p>\n

The monstrous bass features neck-through construction with a nine-piece wenge, maple, and mahogany neck fitted with bubinga body wings and a wenge fretboard. Its body is topped with a layer of flamed maple, which is then capped with a rich ebony complete with a matching headstock. <\/p>\n

Aviator fitted the Bomber with three Elysian custom P-Split pickups with carbon fiber covers. Its control section has all the bells and whistles: an active\/passive switch, series\/parallel switches for the neck and bridge pickups, a four-way rotary switch, and a Darkglass Electronics Tone Capsule. <\/p>\n
