Hey everyone,
After walking in to a music store today and being horribly disappointed that they can no longer get the RG1527 in black, I was lead to consider ordering an RG1527 in Royal Blue, then getting it refinished like a S520EX MGF. But you see, there's the RG1527 RB and then there's a K7. I've always doubted that the K7 would be a good guitar for Death Metal (Aeon, Beneath The Massacre, Necrophagist, Nile, blah blah blah), but perhaps some of you have different opinions. It's been 2 years since I've bought a guitar (my last one being a Godin Freeway Classic...
), and I'm just trying to make sure that I make the right choice for the music that I'd like to play with my instrument. And if I happen to get a K7 and it's a decent guitar, I'd feel kind of odd keeping the 'K-7' inlay in the fingerboard, so inlay removal may be an option for that model.
They both have 24 frets, and generally the same shape... Now, what's troubling is: K7 has a lo-pro, RG has an edge pro; K7 has a mahogany body, RG has a basswood body, the pickups are different (but I'd most likely get new ones anyway), and the necks are different as well... The u-bar seems like an interesting tool. Haha... and I suppose they're both Prestige models?
I'd really appreciate it if some of you were able to give me some advice on purchasing a 7-string. Thank you very much!
