DR7

[Superfly]

Hey all,
I have the chance to pick up one of these and want to know what the masses think. It has no case, just a gigbag. The pups are stock and from the investigation i have done, they are less than good. He wants 225 plus shipping. I have always wanted a 7 but im not sure if this is the one i want or not. It is in blue with the stripes showing through, (Transblue?). Is it worth the price? Thanks...

Re: DR7

If it's in good shape and there are no neck issues, that's a good deal.

Re: DR7

I got one off of ebay with a trem last week for $300. No case. I think tetsuo on this board was selling one for a good price. You might want to PM him on it. He may still have it. He has/had a stringthru.

I think it plays really well. I have had 2 Ibanez 7's that were really nice too. The Ibanez's that I had were loaded with Dimarzio pickups. They sounded better but the jackson feels much more solid. Plus the reverse headstock with the sharkie inlays just looks badass.

I think that is a good price too though.

Re: DR7

I've got one with a trem and it's definitely nice.
Mine's Japanese made (96 serial) - did they make these in India as well?

Re: DR7

Mine is MIJ too. I don't they ever made the trem versions in India.

Re: DR7

Re: DR7

Can I tell by the Serial? I'm not really down with an Indian made one...
He says he purchased it in December of 2002 and it was new at the time.

Re: DR7

Japanese serials start with 9 (i.e. 96, 97) and have 7 or 8 numbers, Indian start with 1 or 01 and have 9 or 10 numbers.

the serial starts with 96. So this is a japanese model.
225 is a good price for this?

Re: DR7

not a bad price for that at all.

I purchased a DR-7 with major plans in mind to modify it. While I still haven't made any modifications other than changing the brushed chrome tuners to black tuners, I'm still working on big plans for it.

Re: DR7

225 is a smoking price, IMO.
