7 String V Thread

[powergroover]

Well, this one seems a bit obvious, but I've got this feeling that the production run will be fairly small, if it ever becomes available at all...

that guitar looks like a toy compared to devin , how big is he actually ???

I know, doesn't the guitar have a 28" scale?

I'd like a 7-string V for certain, I guess that new ESP will be closest to my budget. I would check out the Schecter but I know from experience that I don't enjoy the necks.

Then again, if a 725 fixed bridge appears over at Agile/Rondo then we'll see

Where's Jaden when you need him! As I hate to visit a thread without bringing pictures...:

This agile with a fixed bridge/black hardware please

Found this pic of a V built around a Carvin 7-string neck blank - mostly nice if a little too sharp in the wings.

I know they're impractical, but I have GAS and I need some pictures to fap to. Show me some cool V 7 strings. Especially stuff that is custom or not that common.

These are really nice, though the strap peg placement on this Gibson is downright mental.

Has anybody played one of these yet> yes for tech-death or something it would be crazy having a scale length this short, but I like sludgy Mastodon-y riffs, and still think it would clean up fine for complicated stuff with the EMGs in there, even half a step down if you used mahoosive strings. So, anyone?

I want a guitar that sounds different. It's this or the Devin V I think. Not in a position to try either right now (we know why this is with the Devin...)

The strap pegs on most Gibson/Epiphone Vs are placed to basically create as bad neck dive as you can possibly have. It would be better if the peg was closer to the bridge. The Devy sig is pretty much the same, and with the extended scale (28" I believe) I imagine it wouldn't balance any better. This is the issue with Vs unfortunately, look awesome but impractical.

I'd probably put some weight behind the lower horn to balance it out. As long as this didn't result in me crippling myself trying to lift the sucker.

I would imagine it'd be quite heavy to begin with, the best way to balance it would be with strap pegs.

Another one I can't remember:

This is Doc Coyle's (from God Forbid) custom V

Who the what the where that top one!? It's noooooice!!

 

[technomancer]

Finally found these (whoops, thought this was a 7 but it's not... still bad-assed though )

Just wanna say played a Gibson V today, sounded great, especially clean in fact, and balanced... perfectly!! What is this thing about neck dive? There was none! Upper fret access severely inhibited by strap button on back of neck but I assume that's just Vs for you!!

Hmm fair play! I've found Vs to dive pretty badly myself, but then I do like my necks at quite a vertical angle.

Agghhh, I'm a hard core ibby fan but DAMN that new LTD V is perfect (minus the actives) it looks almost spot on to my LTD DV8R. Major want.

[Bloody_Inferno]

Just for the sake of being thorough...

Ok seriously:

I wouldn't mind a 7 String version of this. Full cosmetics and all.

 

[Syriel]

I'd be all over that if only that had an FR and not a Kahler.

 

[NaYoN]

Anyone have the Nergal signature from ESP? Is it any good?
