7 stringers

I know this topic has been brought up before, but what other makes are there out there besides Ibanez and the usual suspects. I have an Ibanez RG1527 and a Petrucci 7, but both are made from Basswood and sound muddy and undefined, and am looking for something with a little more cut and bottom end.

Depends on the pricerange really.

Under Under 1000 you can get the Schecter Hellraiser, Agile Interceptor, LTD SC-607, etc.

Around 1500 you can get some great guitars, Mayones make some 7 string models, Black Machine make some superb guitars too, but he's got a 12 month waiting list and doesn't take any new orders. Any other custom builder will probably do a 7 string model aswell. ESP make a bunch of 7 string guitars to throw in aswell, I'd imagine BC Rich do too if you're into that sort of thing.

I'll chime in for Jackson here :) I picked up a Jackson 7 (DK-7 i think), off the eBay for £200, and it has a great neck- not too thin but not thick either, just right :) I'm unsure of their current 7string lineup, but there must be one or two.

How exactly is mahogany going to sound less muddy and more defined than basswood?  :roll:

The only Better wood for 7 strings  Swamp Ash.
Therefore ,the Schester Loomis would be a choice.I still prefer the Basswood Ibanez guitars for 7 strings!The "neutrality" of Basswood gives you many possibilities with the right PUs and Amps!And i pefer a good Bolt.on anyday to Set-neck!

Does anyone know any sites to get a C-7/Hellraiser/Loomis?
I've been wanting one of them for a while, might get one in a few months if I can find one online

I tried Thomann, but they only seem to have the Omen

it's because you want a Schecter...


they play like brooms. Get an Ibanez...

















or try Sound Control in London, they will get you one in.

specifically Andy at sound control should help you -

Erm, what about the Ibanez S-7320?

http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/71831

Mahogany body, ZR Trem (awesome)

If that was 24 frets i'd have it in an instant. And it'd have nailbombs in it 5 minitues later.
