7-String Xiphos? Interesting resemblance...

[TMM]

So, I just saw this, and was like, wow, that shape looks really familiar... where was it from....

Ah, right, it came from my dream about a 7-string Xiphos.

Seriousley, I wonder if Chris Woods would be up for the challenge, since I seriousley doubt Ibanez will.

For the price of that Killer 7 you could probably bribe a group of magic gnomes to handcraft a Xiphos 7..

I also think its ugly as sin.

+1 It's a bit ugly, and the shape it's very very sharp.

This was up a long ass time ago. I think we all laughed at the one lonely tuner at the bottom.

But why not just use the Xiphos body for the design? In stead of the Xiphos body on LSD?

Killers are insanely expensive and very very ugly (there is line of cheaper Killers, but the regular ones are ridiculously expensive).

I love that 7 string Killer, too bad it cost 3 limbs and isn't 24 fret.

...but, perhaps Chris Woods could resolve that issue, as that, with 24 frets, neck through, and tilt back headstock would be VERY drool worthy..

I don't think sin's as ugly as that headstock...

man that stealth *orgasm*

I like the Killers. Not as much as the Stealth (or a Jackson Warrior), but I still like them - they're kinda brutally ugly in a way that really succeeds for me.

 

[TMM]

Hmm... yes, that Stealth is gorgeous. Let me know if you ever lose an arm and decide to sell the guitar. (Probably the only way you would consider it)

Sorry if this was a little confusing... I was thinking maybe Chris Woods would make a 7-string Xiphos, not a Killer copy, though I don't think the Killer is all that ugly either. Do we know why they're so expensive?

The Japanese Killers are very, very high quality guitars - built by ESP, IIRC. The Korean ones supposedly aren't bad, either. That's obviously a Japanese one, and it's in line, price-wise, with Japanese ESPs.

Ah, so you've met the "people" at Ibanez's Endorser Custom Shop?

 

[GiantBaba]

The Killer 7 is one of very few guitars I'd ever get that has a Floyd

I never knew noodles worked for Ibanez.

Different sect.

Muhammed from necrophagist is having a 7 string Xiphos made for him since the next album will be using a 7 string. As far as a production model we don't know.

 

[starsnuffer]

Ug. Looks like someone took a hacksaw to an explorer.
