Jackson 7's Appreciation Thread

[HurrDurr]

I love giant Jackson 7 headstocks. Kinda wish they brought 'em back.

I'll grab a few pics of the 3 CS7s I've got this weekend

Behold

such a sick guitar wish i owned something like it. whats the scale length?

 

[beerandbeards]

The jealousy is strong within me! I really want a 7 string soloist in silverburst. Soooo... If anyone is letting one go

26.5in

I used to own a CS Kelly 7 that did the rounds round here. Nice guitar but I didn't like playing it standing up!

The SLAT3-7 was criminally underrated, I feel. But I can see how folks weren't lining up around the corner for what was a black or grey super-strat with a huge headstock and (ghast!) EMGs.

Yeah, it was another Jackson SMH moment - even trans-black was rare, that would have been the one I made the most of, though I love my Green Swirl SLAT3-7. Since the swirl finishes were "real" (done with a mop the old fashioned way) they were all different, and I've only seen a couple of good ones.

Still, anything made by Chushin kicks the crap out of the newer imports, though the Indonesian Pros are getting closer. The Broderick Pro was looking tempting, but the new DK7s are what really interests me...

Currently waiting on a store near me to get a DKA7 in so I can go and give it a test run. Very excited about that guitar.

 

[Dooky]

Yeah, I thought the DK7's were supposed to be shipping in May. Still impatiently waiting

Did someone say Jackson 7?

Totally looked at this and went, Ooooh reversed headstock... woah it's backwards.

I don't own a Jackson but I've always had gas for a C.O.W. 7

...I love my Green Swirl SLAT3-7...

I searched for it, and I have to say it doesn't help my GAS too much:

I have an SLSMG Eerie Dess, the swirl was done in the same old school way on these, too, and man, do they look nice.

Yup.

Very interested to see what the quality will be like, especially on the lush looking DK7M.

 

[HurrDurr]

The new DK's are seriously to die for. I'm always waiting for my buddy at my local Sam Ash to gimme a call when anything new in 7's comes in.

The Eerie Dess was always the best one. If they'd made the SLAT3-7 in that, I would have grabbed it instead. I do like the green, though.

If you like Jackson necks, bodies, and usual hardware there is absolutely nothing to dislike about the SLAT3-7. The quality was great too, on par with some of the USA stuff I've had in my hands.

This... I love mine. I have to be damn near about to be kicked out on the street before I sell that one...

Sweetwater has the new DK7s. Look pretty good. Bizarre neck joint. I think I'll try pulling out one of the screws in one of my guitar's tonight and see how that goes. lol.

As long as the joint is designed to not need four bolts, it'll work. Plenty of builders have used one, two, and three bolt joints that have worked perfectly.
