Best 7 money can buy in your opinion?

[Stan P]

Which would you buy if could have only one 7 but it could be any in the world? Just thinking .. what could it be?

I'd go for a custom spec ESP or Schecter I guess. Maybe Fender Masterbuild if they'd do it.

 

[TheInvisibleHand]

Suhr 7/ ESP custom shop.

 

[Leviathus]

NOS 90s UV.

 

[StevenC]

Custom Schecter or like a Spalt Apex, probably.

My dream guitar is an Aristides 7 string with evertune bridge & my custom specs. If i have that kind of money.

Hmmm there’s really a lot especially if money is no object, I haven’t played everything out there I want i obviously but I’d maybe say maybe GNG Morgoth or like any padalka 7 string model

by custom do you mean you are giving them the 30k or whatever to make custom molds haha?

Spalt apex does look insane

For the money a 90s RG7620….

Every single component high quality and way better than guitars that are much more expensive.

If I could find one then J Custom RG7CST:

As far as known brands are concerned, ESP.
Apart from that, independent luthiers who can build something fully to spec (ie- RIP guitars/Rob Gray in Utah. In my case, I was fortunate to be in an area with a few reputable independent luthiers in TX) would be another viable option, at least there's more flexibility there compared to semi-custom builders without having to deal with their limitations or more well-known shortcomings like that failed roast.

Is that an RIP?

Is that an RIP?

No, and I revised that to better disambiguate. Here's the builder of my 7.

 

[IbanezDaemon]

If I was really flush....a nice UV77MC (original or reissue)

 

[Stan P]

Teauffel Teslas used to be popular arround here, but i do not see them mentioned much anymore? Great guitars in this thread!!

 

[Stan P]

Also surprised Anderson is not mentioned

 

[foreright]

Would have to be a Toone Fathom XR or USM Atmosphere if money were really no object. The Spalt Apex someone mentioned above would be really high on my shortlist after winning the lottery too

 

[bostjan]

Best 7's I've played were all Onis. There are a lot of super high-end guitars that I've never laid hands on, though.

 

[RobDobble6S7]

Personally I´d argue for immaculate quality being the best, in which case I can definitely vouch for Anderson or Mayones.
