The APEX2 (string-through) is probably Indon but the APEX1 (with floating trem+Ubar) is most likely MIJ since it's the "high-end" version of the APEX. Overall, it actually looks like a comparable guitar to the K7... plus the horizontal 69 inlay and the rest of the inlay looks quite nice IMO...

Anyway, I'm surprised that you don't like the UV777... I though playability wise it should be at least slightly better than the 1527? The neck profile is a bit flatter than the 1527 IIRC... it's way over-priced, to be sure, but it looks very very classy- the 1527 on the hand is very much understated.

But if I could afford a UV777 (not in the near future!), I think I'd rather go for a Dellinger 7-string... the devil's tail headstock is just suh-weet...

Have you seen the J-custom 7-string with the vine of life inlay? One killer looking guitar... cost more than double the 1527 though!

my bad... actually the RG7 CST is a J custom... and considering how limited previous j custom runs were...

yea i guess it's ok but you have to see how much it costs. . . sometimes it's not worth getting a cheaper guitar if another one with better quality is like just another couple of hundred away. . . rather save up hat couple of hundred and get the MIJ. . .

i tried the UV777 twice and both times i hated the high action. . . tho it can be fixed i still find the guitar un-engaging due to the stupid pointless monkey bar which cuts out a chunk of your guitar tone. . . you just don't have sustain with that damn thing. . . and the tone is just so thin. . . the finish and all is great but tone wise and feel wise i think the 1527 win hands down. . . but you've got to try it and tell me your opinion as diff ppl look at diff things in a guitar. . .

why not get a Conklin Custom straight! =D

no i haven't you got the link to the Custom 7?

anyway to all of you who wants to try your hand at the 7 string but can't afford one a new alternative has just arrived. . .

'You can do anything you want...just don't get caught!

AH7 pickups on the Rg7321 could have been better if they would use different setup on this model, mayb its newer model for a budget 7 stringer compare to the Ibanez GRX720BK Gio 7-String which i bought 3 years ago for my lil brother lol. mayb a change of pickups n neck..adjusting the trust rod should do tha trick.

Hey Beatmasta, you were asking me in PM about the PAF7. Well it's pretty much like the 6 string PAF Pro version I guess but it has lower output though.

If u can't google just go to dimarzio.com and then select 7 String pickups.
The PAF7 is there

heh thx val..currently ur playing on whch guitar now since ur still waiting for ur k7. wat setup effects pedal ur gonna run thru it

Well currently I'm using a Jackson TH-1 Stealth and at home I just run it thru my Microcube.

For studio mucking around, I use a Boss GT-6. Might have to redo the patches with the K7 though, considering the extended low end and different body tone.

is that a custom guitar cant seem to find pictures of it val..but there's a review bout it. if we can get a hand on mesa dual recti. run thru the 7s omg i'll stay at home for a week playing

which model you all talking about?

and they stopped the 7 string Gio. . . cause ppl rather buy the 7321. . .

so your lil bro shreds on 7's too. . . damn cool family =D



try the pup finder if you're there =D


yea. . . i had to do alot of settings when i got my 7. . . but i'm afraid your microcube cannot tahan man lolz. . . low B gonna be really flabby =D

lolz i'll nvr leave home lmao. . .my neighbours gonna suffer wei xD small house i staying i play at home also neighbour bising
