How many folks here are actually willing to throw down cash for a USA 7-string? Here's the thing, you could work a limited run yourself with one of the forum dealers - I'm sure one of them would be happy to do this. All you guys have to do is agree on specs and go for it and for that I'll just sit back and enjoy some [img]/images/graemlins/popcorn.gif[/img] and watch you guys debate what the specs whould be.

Yeah, I'm sure the specs would be an interesting fight. I'd suspect the number of forum people willing to drop $1800 - 2000 on a 7 string is reasonably small, though...

I`m in for a Rhoads. Trans black!!
Let`s discuss specs folks.
And when that is said, what can we actually chose from with the select series.

7-string Rhoads with SLS headstock? I'll let you know by the middle of next month if I'm in or not, waiting to hear about a job. If I get it...I'm in.

A couple quick mockups showcasing various options/configs:



Obvously, these are 6's, but at least it gives you an idea.

(I'd go for trans black over that trans red though, and I'm a bigger fan of flamed maple than quilted for trans finishes [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )

I don't much care for curly "flamed" Maple. I do like curly fries, though.

I haven't made any flamed maple graphics, and I'm probably not going to, so, you'll have to live with quilt on the mockups. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Unless someone else wants to try their hand at it..??

Any kind of Rhoads, King V, Soloist or Dinky with the SLS 4+3 headstock, 24 frets. Either TOM or Floyd bridge is fine with me. See, I'm easy to please. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

To have the balance, I prefer to go with SLS 4+3 headstock for 7string guitar instead of a pointy headstock.
RRV or KELLY would be nice.

I would love a Rhoads or Kelly 7... forward or reverse headstock would be fine, I'm not a fan of 4+3 myself, I like the straight in line ones.
I would love to see these happen, that would be so great.
Here's hoping!

You'd be a fan of the 4+3 if you had a 7 string. The other headstock - especially reversed - is too damn long, I think, and messes with the balance.

Yeah, those inline 7-string Jackson headstocks are definitely too long and look stupid, IMO. 4+3 is definitely the way to go.

I agree for a regular pointy headstock but as a reverse head the 7-inline kinda works.

agreed. (although you might have to do the foam-behind-the-nut trick the guy from fear factory does to keep those long reaches of string beyond the nut from resonating)
