Info on supposed Jackson RR7

[xenophobe]

IIRC, there were "issues" with doing a non-reverse import 7-string head back in those days, so they only went with the reverse on the DR-7, DX-7, KE-7R, and RR7R. As well, it's a bit of a sharp turn coming off the nut to the 7th tuner, which thicker low Bs find difficult to make, unless you elongate the head even more near the neck to compensate, and then it just looks completely fucked up.

Yeah, I seem to remember that too.

there is only a reverse headstock RR7. duncan designed pickups, similar to other cheaper 7 strings they made back then. very crappy in my opinion. the inlays lift off very easy and since being revers inlays they are like little needles on your fingers. this is my experience, they can not live up to a player who plays a lot. great for a kid in high school trying to get some traction with a girl who sees it in his room. they are better for decor than use.

I used to think that about Jackson's whole first try at 7 strings until I went back and played some of them again. I've played 3 DR7s that have been quite good, all from different years - the aging seems to have done them a lot of good. I haven't seen an RR7R in person in about ten years, but I'll bet they've aged as well as the DKs.

I have a DR7R that I picked up for $75. Honestly the neck is awesome. It is a bit fugly with the fins looking wrong to me but the guitar is rock solid. The Duncan designed are shite and I need to upgrade that the tuners but there is nothing wrong with the guitar at all as far as playability.
