Since TYAG is downtuning to like Z# I might be looking for a nice 7 string.

Neck through construction a plus
Good hardware a must
No shitty floyds. Originals or schallers only.. but I'd prefer fixed bridges.
If it has Seymour Duncans I'm going to nair your happy trail

A nice Jackson or LTD 3+ (or steph carpenter sig) would be nice.

There are 1 or 2 Ibanez guitars I might also consider.

Let me know what you got!

n00b. original or schallers? please. ibanez edge 7s destroy both.

theres an ibanez rg7321 on boston craigslist right now with duncan jb/jazz(?) in it for 275. a steal if you ask me.

But unfortunately, they are attached to Ibanezes

sorry duder, but youre not going to find an easier playing 7 than ibanez.

unless my custom carvin 7 that arrives tomorrow (!) smokes it.

True dat. I have played the ltd necktru 7 and a Jackson 7 and I still like my Ibanez 7620 better. Thats reminds me, I haven't played that thing in just about a year.

you might wanna rethink neckthru for a 7string, that 7321 sounds like a deal and a half even if you still want to change pickups

I never thought I'd see the day that Niccolai Twombly would want a 7-string. I'll be looking for one very soon myself.

John [Jddomination] has one....he's been trying to sell it for awhile...it's a neck through and i'm not sure if it's an original floyd or not, but it stays in tune fairly well from when i had it...good shape too...ask him for more specs

I've got an Ibanez 1527 with white D Activator pickups in it if you're interested. No bid deal if not, I actually really like the guitar still but considering upgrading a Universe.

I don't know, I like my Schecter a bit better than my 7620. But that may be bias because of better tone.

my seven string is a Halo, neck through, stock pickups, needs a little work but sounds good, has the stock floyd, i'm not sure if it's the original, email me @ JDDomination@hotmail.com
