Heres the full scoop on the jackson 7s at namm

[7STRINGWARRIOR]

I asked chris if they were still planning on bringing them out and what the street prices will be.

This was his response as of today

"Yes there will be 7 string neck thru soloists at winter NAMM. right now they are planning to street at 1200.00. Then soon after we will have more 7s in entry level price points and sig models as well... stay tuned"

Not what I was expecting but Ill buy a soloist 7.

 

[norrin radcliff]

My soloist was one of my favorite guitars. Seems like they could be a good "large scale manufacture" competitor to ibanez.

Competition is good.

 

[MaKo´s Tethan]

yea!entry level prices! fuckin country and my stupid money.

 

[AvantGuardian]

Awesome. A 7 string soloist sound pretty sweet.

7 String SLS TY PLZ

 

[Sebastian]

Yeah !!!!! entry level

*Why Sebastian is happy ? he has a COW

 

[eaeolian]

Yeah, pretty much exactly what he said to me when I asked about the prototype. They'll have real (well, Ping, but they're 99% the same thing) Floyds on them, too, no TRS crap.

This has just landed on my "must acquire" list. I had kept playing with the idea of buying a Loomis or S7320 to get a 7 with a decent trem. Looks like my procrastination paid off for once.

7 string soloist sounds cool to me

 

[darren]

I just hope they make the headstock a little more sleek and proportional than the Stars hockey stick head they used on the prototype.

So Mike does this mean it's actually finally happening?

Yep. Since it's a SL3, it's a Pro model, and not a USA, but you gotta start somewhere!

 

[BenEllerGuitars]

hmmm... not a jackson fan, so i won't buy one, but hopefully they will sell well. this, in turn, might inspire ibanez to make more 7's!

 

[ajdehoogh]

True. It is a start. Congrats on your procrastination!

 

[caskettheclown]

OMG I think....crap

i hope they have some mid level 7's as well!!

 

[Kagami]

$1200 for that isn't half bad IMO especially considering the price increases on the COW lately.

 

[The Echthros]

it seems that is the going price for a decent guitar nowadays. look at al the high end LTDs and Ibanez guitars going for about the same. This will be a MIJ if it the Pro Series, right? ESP and Ibanez needa watch out....I think this guitar will inevitably shit on their current offerings...and I'm not even a jackson fanboi!

 

[7STRINGWARRIOR]

Im very excited

 

[The Echthros]

now if they can just avoid the temptation of throwing EMGs in it...

 

[caskettheclown]

they dont need EMG's, they need passive PU's or blackouts
