Maybe people are just referring to no new EII 7s, but there is already a hardtail sparkle EII 7 baritone.... its excellent.

Yes, just talking referring to new E-II 7s for 2021.You mean the only new E-II? Because there are three others available now.

That jawbreaker finish is amazing.
For the EX specifically, I think getting rid of it for a few years was a good call as it made it a bit more rare and gave the market some time grow and appreciate it for what it is versus comparing it straight to an explorer (bigger/rounder shape, banana headstock vs. sharp and knife headstock).
Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that.
I've always had a soft spot for the the EX shape. The angles and lines are done way better than most of the other explorer-style guitars IMO. A fantasy guitar of mine would be a custom EX 7 string (with the knife edge headstock not that FX one).For the EX specifically, I think getting rid of it for a few years was a good call as it made it a bit more rare and gave the market some time grow and appreciate it for what it is versus comparing it straight to an explorer (bigger/rounder shape, banana headstock vs. sharp and knife headstock).

I like the two new color additions for the Full thickness Eclipses, waaay better then their first attempt IMO. Hope they will have see thru finish on the back as well..
This doesn't look ecaxtly like I would think tobacco sunburst would look like but it looks great none the less!!

I wonder if it's all the black hardware/plastic that's making it look "off?"
I'm personally not a fan of black hardware on more "classic" looking sunbursts, especially with that cream binding.

I think I'd be more into a "Granite Metallic" finish than the sparkle one they have going on. I sorta hope its darker in person, like these two:

Not sure where these came from exactly, spotted them on a FB group, but people have been wanting some 6 string reverse HS Horizons for a while. Id be surprised if they didn't also do the 7 string versions with these colors.
