Ping makes a 7 string trem?
OEM only. I think the "cheap" Dean RC and the Loomis are using it now, too.

So...the expensive $3000 RC model is using a TRS trem, and the cheap(er) import is using a Ping? Can anyone explain that?
If I didn't have the KxK's incoming I'd be all over this shit. Is that $1200 price tag the estimated street price or MSRP?

I have a COW7 and I really think this thing is going to be an incredible guitar for $1200 if its MIJ.

I'll wait for a Jackson Stars version with a bound ebony board and mop sharks (or a USA select, but they seem dead set against that), but this is a good start.
has to be street unless they're doing a major price decrease - a regular SL3 is MSRP $1750 or so and street ~1200.

I have been waiting for this ever since I got my SLSMG. If the headstock does not look like a fucking goalie stick this will be my next 7. The 4x3 SLS is my favorite 7 string headstock over all but I def. I Won't get my hopes up on that.
Not to make you uncomfortable mike..but I have fapped all over your CS in my head more than once. It is the nicest 7 I have ever seen.

I think the TRS on the US version is more about artist spec. RC played Ibanez for a while...maybe he just preferes the feel of those low profile bridges and there was no way on hell Dean was gonna let him have an Ibanez bridge. Last I checked there really arent any low profile bridges for 7s. Even floyd rose offers a low profile version only in a 6er.

I know that's why he's using the TRS, but why would they put the superior bridge on the import? Why not stick with the TRS on the cheap(er) guitar?

didn't they have an import 27" baritone before? I remember them discontinuing it rather quickly lol.Do you know how long this has taken? Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Yeah, I feel the same way. That would be a deal breaker for me.

can't bend....
ONLY 1200!!!! YES! Passives please.........if so I'm totally going to get one as my first 7.
well I guess a 7 string SL3 is better than nothing.
I wonder if it will be h/s/s like an SL3 or H/H like the SL4.
I was hoping for bound ebony and an OFR but I guess unbound rosewood
is a start.
Can't wait to see them, I may have to grab one to compliment my incoming BRJ 7
