While I had the strings off, I polished up the faceplate of the headstock, and it really brought out some coloring in the ebony and also makes the JCL initials SHINE! I'll post some pictures later when I have some time.

Awesome. Would love to see it!

Looks gorgeous! I absolutely love the streaks in the ebony. Reminds us that it's not plastic, it's a real, organic work of art. Thx for sharing.

Yeah,it's like a blonde streak in the wood. Looks funky and cool.

I just have to say that my Forum VII is sounding stunning these days.  I put on some DR Sunbeams light strings and it just chimes like a wedding church bell.  It's a jaw dropping sound.  I'm happier than a butcher's dog with this guitar.

Maybe I'll give these a shot. I've been at a loss for which strings to try on my Forum VII (000, Redwood/Black Walnut).

I'm not real crazy about the strings it came with, sounded pretty good at first but as time goes by, they just don't sound right (can't really describe what I mean).

What has everyone else tried????
