I have a feeling the trans finishes will be USA-only, but I've been wrong before - I never thought we'd see import swirls, either.
Even an non trans white one I'd still be all over. White + black binding + ebony board = pure awesome.

It's Jackson, so nothing's for sure, but that's the usual path for artist models.

Sure looks like it. Unless they're just throwing shit around, which wouldn't be a huge surprise.

Misread that. Apologies.

I'll wait for a meat and potatoes DR7 with 24 frets.

Uh, just buy a SLAT3-7. There won't be another DR7 since the SLATs arrived.

Do want trans white.

There's a 6 string version, but you won't be getting it for less than $2600. I'm actually kinda surprised they're that low.

I'd rather get an RG1527. Plus a DR7 would be several hundred dollars less than the SLAT-7. But you're right, it won't happen.

Buys guitars, sometimes plays them
I'm a bit shocked that the prices at DCGL are so low. If the US guitars look like what Broderick's playing in those pics... for $2,600? That seems amazing.

Not much of a Jackson guy, are you?

Why would you ever want a DR7?

Oh, if they made a 7 string version of the DK2M, I'd be there. That won't happen, though.

Oh I agree but I thought the DR7 was this thing:
Which wasn't that great (quite bad actually) from my experience
Wouldn't a DK2M be a DK7? I'm not to familiar with all the Jackson model designations.

Actually, I'm a HUGE Jackson fan. With only one exception (an ESP custom shop signed by pornstars that I don't play but could never sell for obvious reasons) ALL my guitars and my one bass are Jackson. My one 7-string is a Jackson DR7, and it slays. I just wish it had 24 frets. But for $1400, I'd rather get an RG1527 than an SLAT-7 because I prefer flat top over arch top, and passive pickups over active. Heck, the Dean USA RC7 in natural mahogany makes a ton more sense than the MIJ SLAT-7 for just a couple hundred more. 
A DR7 with 24 frets (or a 7-string DK2, DK2T or DK2M) would be ideal for me--and I imagine a lot of people--because it'd have those features AND be hundreds less than either RG1527 or SLAT-7.

You got the ONE good DR7, then. I was an endorser back then, too, and I coughed the money for a CS guitar rather than play one of those (though they're better than the DX7.
). The price point thing is noted, but the DR7 you like was pretty expensive new (~$900, IIRC), which was one reason they didn't sell. The price/quality/features equation was out of whack.For the record, I don't like actives, either, but that was pretty easy to handle...
