A good LP with a Floyd is just silly sweet!!

So these 7 string are 26.5 scale. That explains the gap between the bridge/ pickup.

Reverse headstocks always look awesome! In this case though, the SLS headstock works, plus i think it was a deliberate move to attract more potential customers who would otherwise be too pussied-out to play a guitar with a pointy headstock.

I also wish they had the Chris Broderick's reversed headstock at least...
BTW, why the new generation is pussying out on Jackson's trademarked headstocks? 80's pointy look, definitely, but is it cool still and aggressive looking, HELL YEAH, it's Metal and that's how it should be, always....

I've been on the hunt for a RR7R for quite some time.

They don't look better than the Agile's. That's disheartening. Do we think they will BE better than the Agile's? I hope it goes 'BOOM' when I pick the low B!

I agree with you, but most 7-string players nowadays are a bunch of nancies who listen to Dream Theater and Periphery.

Goddammit, with these 7-strings and the new Pro series, Jackson is giving me huge GAS.

These 7 strings are awesome! I love mine! I ordered mine from Musicians Friend several weeks ago and it doesn't have the pickup spacing issue you all mentioned above.

These are 100% facts. But the younsters look at this as a Jeff Loomis Sig ripoff. It's true. I was talking with my kid and his bud who actually thought this.

Well, we did play or wanted the exact guitars our idols played. That hasn't changed at all. Jackson should have worked with Alexi Laiho at that time, Kept Dave on board..which included Glen Drover. Then approached Jeff Loomis. Being a little ahead of the curve, by keeping your fingers on the pulse. Being pro-active at grabbing what inspires players that will be irrelevant..via trends.

Chris Broderick was a nice grab...vicariously thru Jeff. Same with Marty Friedman...vicariously thu Jeff as a kid. They played Schecters and Carvins respectively before jumping on the Megatrain. Two horribly unnecessary sigs are those Machine Head, Trivium models. Which to me looks much too desperate to be pathetic. You couldn't give me one on principle. I'd rather have a Dean Razorback..sarcastic and true.

I'd rather keep these styles like the DK7R. Which both Peter Witchers (Soilwork) Pers Nillson (Scar Symmetry) use. Swedish Players inspired the bulk of metal-core players for the last decade.Which is why you see many with Caparison and ESP guitars.

Unless you're in Steel Panther..nobody cares about 80's styles anymore. Just us old fuckers. But it didn't have to be that way. Which is my point.

Jackson HAS got Misha Mansoor though, and that's a huge asset with how many djent players ride his proverbial dick.

Is he actually endorsed? He owns and plays many different customs by a lot of manufacturers.

[elrrek]

Misha has two very cool Jackson custom shop 7s but I believe he has a policy of not actually signing "endorsements" because he likes to jump between guitars a lot.

Yup. But he is listed as an artist I believe, and he does promote Jackson quite a bit through his formspring.

There are plenty of us out there who were born too late so to speak. Yeah, I saw St. Vitus this past weekend. FTW

Heh, i saw St. Vitus, they open for Kreator in about 86 or 87, i think that show was also with Nuclear Assault.
