Finally popped my 7 string cherry. Based on the black machine b7, went with their alternative headstock.

One piece Brazilian mahogany body with yew and resin top. One piece Brazilian mahogany neck with ebony board and yew binding and yew headstock plate.
Gotoh hardware and warman deadly sinner pickup set. Get some really nice big sounding chords.

It's resin, I get mine from epodex. I make the body blank and if like this one the cracks aren't very big I rout them bigger. Then I build a frame around it to dam the resin, mix then pour. Sometimes for really small cracks like in the headstock I might just use superglue with the mica powder

Fantastic job Neil, as usual. It’s a beautiful top, I love cherry, especially with coloured epoxy. 

Make guitars, not war 🌍✌️🎸
