well there WAS a guitar with those specs, it was the ESP Stephen Carpenter signature 7 string guitar, 24 fret ebony fretboard, 25 1/2 scale, neck thru body construction ( maple neck, alder wings), string thru body with tune o matic bridge, Seymour duncan JB on the neck for 7 string guitars, an especial ESP 7 string pickup for the middle and another ESP 7 string pickup at the neck ( single coil)...but it was discontinued, look around you might find one, ESP still makes a version of that guitar, but made in Korea under the LTD name, except it's got a rosewood fretboard and the wings are made of mahogany, i personally like more mahogany , ity enhances more the low frecuencies..but too bad it doesn't have an ebony fretboard..

Re: Gas strikes back!!

it came in solid black, but fully bound( body, neck and headstock) i don't know if the LTD comes in trans black i've seen it in 3 color sunburst and trans green i think, why don't you get one custom made?, here's a link for wonderfully made custom guitars by Neal Moser, he designed the BC Rich Bich and Virgin, and worked many many years with them this is his addy http://www.mosercustomshop.com good luck man!

Ehehe,I've used the form for ESP custom orders,my guitar would cost 3550$ [img]graemlins/fart.gif[/img]
I've seen the Steven Carpenter model and it looks pretty cool!Too bad for the fretboard,not only for the material but also for that horrible inlay with hs sign (I don't like signature models!).If I don't make build it from a luthier (here in my city there's a pretty good luthier) I think I could buy th LTD....the schecter site has no more the c7+,is it discontinued?

"7 strings,ebony fretboard,arched top,string thru and neck thru,trans blk axe!"

My Schecter C7+ is pretty close.
-7-string mahog body & neck with maple flametop & binding
-rose board
-arched top
-string-thru (strat style) - I have seen tuna-thru versions
-set neck
-cherryburst (I've seen trans black..)
