7 string guitars

[Ben...]

My friend has one, it's a great guitar, plays great, sounds great, and looks great. I'm just not too big on Signature guitars, even though JL is one of my favorite players. No doubt if I were to snag a 7, that would probably be it, unless Jackson had something that was in the same price range and was equally as good. Schecter is really running the 7 string market right now, they offer good quality at a pretty good price... Tough to beat unless you really want to.

What I like about the Loomis is that it's not obvious that it's his signature. It's not like those terrible Avenged Sevenfold models. It just looks like a different model.

I would like the regular pointy to stay on Jackson 7-strings. I saw the COW and it looked fine. Maybe just make the logo a little bigger to compensate. An SLS headstock would look good too though.

7-string SLSMG is the way to go. Normal body thickness with SLS headstock would also work fine. Hardtail and floyd models please.

[zebutcher]

I play 7 Strings in my band and play with a Schecter Loomis. Because it's less expensive than the Cow and have 2 PickUps.

I would appreciate a Jackson 7 Strings SLS or KV. Without Floyd just string thru but with 2 Hum.

My cs kv 7 is by far my favorite guitar... EVER!!!

[missionguitars1]

Still have my near-mint DR7T that gets played every once in a while...good fun when I'm looking for a change of pace. Will probably replace the Duncan Designed's with EMG 707's one of these days though...

[SLY]

Please make a 7 string soloist with 2 EMG 707 and a floyd rose. Even if I have a SLS3, I prefer the normal pointy in line head stock. For the body, an archtop soloist would look great (see the Chris Broderick custom Ibanez). I think that passive pickup are too muddy for 7 strings (from my experience on an RG7 620 and a Universe). Go wth EMGs please!!!!

[Confessor Townsend]

Thoughts:

As mentioned before, a double humbucker option is a must for increasing potential sales as well as offering both Floyd and string-through options. Keeping the traditional alder body should work fine for preventing mush (IMHO).

Body styles I would go with the DK and SL first, there's just something that looks a little unbalanced in a 7 string RR I can't put my finger on.

Pickups are going to be interesting: EMG 707s would be the obvious choice but would make pickup replacement more difficult. SD Blackouts would allow for passive retrofitting but I believe there is a cost factor to consider (more expensive than EMGs?).

Anyhow, would I buy say a DK2-7M oh hell yes!

[bibz]

Sls7 please. Floyded. And longer scale damnit!!

[BeëlzeM]

I'd like to see it happen.

First thing I'd like to see though is a larger assortment of normal models first. And more high-end models without tremolo's.

[piranhaguy2002a]

I just picked up a used DR7T from Ebay. They're getting more scarce to find in decent condition used, and are usually snatched up pretty quick.
Would like to see a neck-through model w/ dual hums (preferably w/ Duncan Blackouts so if I wanted to switch to passives I'm not hosed on the pickup route), 24 frets, Original Floyd Rose 7 string bridge.

[Jake_Dreyer]

What about Nevermore? They still play 7`s and they`re fantastic.

Jeff Loomis is awesome loved the almost Cacophony feel Nevermore had when Chris Broderick was filling in.

I would love if Jackson released some more seven string models. In fact I just placed an order in for a CS KV7.

[TVTiZtiK]

I'd personally love to see all the current USA selects get 7 string versions added. If I had to a choose a specific model I'd say the Soloist. The only downfall is the huge ass 7 string version of the standard headstock.

[AK47]

You kids and your damned 7 strings is whats causing noise and problems in my neighborhood.

I am trying to write my congress people to ban these things.

That's the one thing I also don't like is the huge 7-string headstocks. Cut it down a little or go with the SLS 4+3.

Well, Guyver did the normal size headstock with his 7 string and it turned out fine right? Granted, his is a reverse headstock but I don't see why it wouldn't work on a non-reversed :think:. Has anybody custom ordered a standard normal size headstock 7 string? I think Jackson should do it that way if it works.
