What does the S7's case look like? Red velvet interior? I'm likely going to order this guitar tomorrow. It's taken nearly 8 months of deep thought and consideration to choose a 7-string axe to work with. The trem sounds incredible and I would think that this guitar could go a long way with me...
Hmm... :rolleyes: You know, it IS possible to use the trem to raise the pitch to those notes beyond the 22nd fret. I'm just not sure of how quickly I could do that. Afterall, the S7320 has an incredibly smooth trem, correct? Quick right-hand taps have always been very nice for flavour. Now I...
I've heard that the Xiphos and S7320 cost just about the same. I've got close to $2000 CDN to spend and I've been craving to get a Godin xtSA Trans Black for all of its acoustic, jazzy goodness.:lol: So at the moment I could get two of three guitars... ;P I love the middle pickup for all of my...
I can't make up my mind! :wallbash: Do I invest in an S7320 so that I can finally have a 7-string to work with? Or do I wait for the Ibby Xiphos to come out in April? My main concern is that the S has 22 frets, whereas the Xiphos has 24... One is a 7 and the other a 6. WTF! :eek: Haha. There...
I've also been curious to know how the Ibanez UV777P (Basswood body, bolt-on Maple neck) would sound in comparison to the new Xiphos (Neckthru Mahogany). Would both guitars have great lows as well as clear, slightly deadened high-notes? I've heard this is the case for the Xiphos. The Universe...
Regardless of its chameleon finish, the guitar sounds great and that's exactly what I need. :shred: I can't wait to get my hands on the Xiphos! While I work with the Xiphos for metal stuff, I'll have to look into a Godin xtSA (Trans black) for some jazzier aspects. :) I like the options...
Great six-string! One of my favourites. I love it's features, but I may go for the new Ibanez Xiphos when it comes out in April. I've been lacking 2 frets all of my life and it's about time that I get a decent guitar to work with. However, this is definitely a guitar that I would love to save up...
I have both of them and they're very unique indeed! I've been meaning to pick up more instructional DVD's and the like recently. A friend of mine suggested these to me. Mr. Govan has a very modest approach to how he approachs instruction. It's very easy to follow his concepts and after reading...
The Stubby J3's wear down quickly and I suppose you wouldn't get the same kind of 'click' from these stubby's... If the click is what you're wanting to reduce. Stubby's also glide over the strings a bit easier, but they definitely have a different feeling than the traditional J3's. Give one of...
Scenario: A Seven-string with 27 frets, frets 17-27 scalloped... How would this affect your technique? I've been considering this for the custom I'd like to have made in the (near?) future. :P Haha. Would this be a serious problem for tapping? I heard that some JEM's have scalloped frets...
I've also been considering a 7-string instrument with 27 frets. Frets 17-27 scalloped... A few extra frets only opens up more possibilites for your instrument, without having to necessarily sacrifice any tone by pulling the neck pup a little bit closer to the bridge. Honestly, this fret...
Great! Thanks for the advice! HighGain510, thanks for letting me know about that. It's not such a horrible inlay, it's just been a personal preference of mine to have blank fingerboards. :) As for the pickups, I would definitely consider a new arrangement if necessary. Now, if it comes somewhere...
Personally, the first time I heard these guys, I really enjoying hearing all of the versatility they had in their guitar and vocal work. The vocals remind me of Bjorn Strid's melodies, from Soilwork. And not to mention the bass and drums... It's all very well-put-together. A good group of five...
Interesting! So what's the listed price on a K7 (US or CDN currency)? Does it come in a Prestige case as well?:rolleyes: Haha... and I've been meaning to post about this new Ibanez Prestige offer to see if anybody knows anything about it: In the January 2007 issue of Revolver, there's an...
Very nice picture! This blue is not so bad, but I have never been fond of blue. And I've always had a great dream of owning a guitar with a dark grey finish. :rolleyes: We'll see... perhaps I can get one of these and get it refinished... It's about damn time that I saved up enough money for a...
Hey everyone, After walking in to a music store today and being horribly disappointed that they can no longer get the RG1527 in black, I was lead to consider ordering an RG1527 in Royal Blue, then getting it refinished like a S520EX MGF. But you see, there's the RG1527 RB and then there's a...
