I checked out the link. I think the guy is still selling it. It's an RG7420, Black Pearl finish for RM1.6k.

It's a bit tempting, considering that it's only RM1.6k vs RM3.5-4k for the new RG1527 (from Bentley, and they don't have stock right now anyway).

Hmmm, the specs say the RG7420 has a Low TRS-7 vs the Edge Pro 7 for the RG1527. I've seen quite a few crappy reviews for the Low TRS-7... but for RM1.6k, you could probably swap it with an OFR, install new pups, get a set-up and it'll still probably be cheaper than the 1527 off the shelf. Still... the 1527 is a Prestige... not sure about the 7420 though...

Anyone has an idea how the neck (thickness/playability), body construction, workmanship etc. of a 7420 would compare to a 1527?

I've checked out sevenstring.org - I can find discussions on 7420 vs 7620 and 7620 vs 1527, but I'm not sure if I can use that to compare 7420 vs 1527!

nah, I'm looking for one with a floating bridge... thanks anyway.

...just that the 7420 bridge is supposed to suck big time...

The one in JamTank is it? lol... it was sold before I started GASsing for a 7-string...

But, yes, I do feel like kicking myself...
