Josh Smith (Northlane) confirms new sig guitar in works

Or its 2 thin pieces of alder stacked

I wonder why would they do this. It would be just too much additional work versus making a standard two/three piece alder body or alder body with a flame maple top.

Me too, just throwing ideas around

I'm curious of the possible maple top, because my factory solid black B7 seems to have a maple top (the joint is visible in the upper horn in the picture):

I'm tempted to strip the guitar, but wouldn't want to do it unless I'd be sure that there's a decent flame maple top underneath.

I’m just pretty much speaking of experience of having one of Josh’s guitars and what I’ve read. If the painted b7s have a maple top I think it will be a cap that doesn’t have any figuring.

the B7's have a top but the sigs dont. its due to the arch top

Got to meet Northlane and Erra for VIP here in Vancouver . Josh was cool . I asked if he was using his seafoam B7 and he said just wait and walks away . We were backstage before the gig . Few minutes goes by and he comes back with his guitar and hands me it , says check it out and play it if you want .

I had pictures on an old phone that got lost , but man that was a cool experience . I can confirm everyone in that band are all top tier guys . Josh was sick , I didn't even ask to see it , he brought it out . Dudes a fine lad .

All I can say is the strings he uses are fucking FAAAATTT . Stoked his production model is based off that one . The OG was cool as fuck !

Mom went back to old messages on Facebook and found it . 2019 tour with Erra , Currents , and Crystal Lake . As I mentioned , all great guys . Will have to pick up the production model to complete the story !
