Do you prefer the mahogany body over the swamp ash ,if I remember correctly, on ur custom Tele? Also what string gauges are you using on your 7's?

Thanks for sharing the pics. It helped me with my next-guitar choice.
I ordered the same guitar and I should get a phonecall today when it arrives.
Can't wait for it.

Not only are they endorsed, but they all have sigs with ESP.

I got my EC407 last week and my Axe FX II yesterday! 
might pick one of these up myself, i need a standard scale 7 for a different tuning i'm planning on using. i'm glad they've got the 707/81 combo, i'll be able to swap the 707 to the bridge position without having to trade with someone like i have to do with the carpenter sigs. can't decide whether i want one of these or a standard scale sc-607 with a 707. imo 707 in the bridge and 81 in the neck is the way to go.

Finally! I've got it:
It's a monster-axe!
The only question to you I have is about the groover tuners.
This is my first guitar that has 'em.
What is special about grover tuners compared to others, is it tightness or something?
Btw, the tuners on this guitar doesn't have rotogrip. Would it be a good idea to replace them with a set that has rotogrip?
It's just that this is my first guitar without a tremmelo and therefore doesn't has locknuts. I'm just a bit concerned it get's out of tune too easily.
You advice and explanation is appreciated.
Thanks

You could trade them out for a set of locking tuners like Sperzels, but honestly for whatever reason my EC-407 is one of the best "staying-in-tune" guitars I have. I have no tuning issues with it even though it doesn't have locking tuners.

Thanks for your reply. I wonder whether that's the opinion of more EC-407 users.
Is there anyone else who wants to comment?

I have an EC-407. I don't mind the tuners that are in it. It's a matter of personal preference.
As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it

Here is probably one of the first audio samples you'll hear from the EC-407 but the catch is... it's not metal
I recently got an Axe-FX 2 and wanted to see what it could do on the effects side of things. Here's the product of using the ESP LTD EC-407 (stock EMGs) + Axe-FX 2 and sort of a movie soundtrack project I'm working on. This is one track (not layered), recorded live, minor post-processing to raise the level of the track.

Sorry, this doesn't truly reflect the raw quality of sound from this guitar but I'm working on some sample tracks.

Over time, LP-shaped 7-strings grew on me. Besides this one, I'm also digging the ARZ307.
