Looks cool, I would like one of those. Is this just like a seven string Dr3 that is missing the floyd?

How much are they?

Looks good, glad you got that guitar. I really wanted a JCF member to get it. Enjoy!

That's exactly what it is. In fact, this model was actually called the "DR7".

The "DK7" is Jackson's designation for what we around here typically call the "COW 7"--the Christian Olde Wolbers signature model. The DR7 goes back much further to about 1999-2000. I owned one briefly, but it wasn't quite my thing. The ones with fixed bridges like this typically sell for about $250-300 on eBay. They also made a version with a Floyd, and those sell for a little more.

Be careful when looking for these, though, because Jackson also made a much cheaper, crappier version called the "DX7" that was made (poorly, IMHO) in India. The best way to tell them apart is that the DR7 has satin chrome hardware, while the DX7 has shiny chrome hardware. The serial numbers and neckplates are also different, but those are often difficult to see in detail on eBay listings.

Then mine would be a dx7. It's got the satin HW. Plays and sounds pretty good, tho.

You've got a DR7 since you have the satin or as some people call it "titanium" (just for the dullness, not actual material) hardware. I've got a DR7 myself in trans red and I was questioning the DK7 title myself. Sweet looking guitar!

I just mostly bought mine just because I wanted to try out a 7 string and it sold for relatively cheap. I swapped out the pups with a set of Dimarzio Blaze & Sonic and it really woke it up!
