The only 7-string looks to be that Jackson multiscale with a strangely offset body
Apparently I really cant stand Jackson models anymore. The HS soloists look just wrong, same for the F-Bird models, the Round Horns look like flying Vs that followed some really unhealty fitness program, and the monarks have some cheap LP vibe I dont dig at all.Charvel Masterbuilds from the show:

On the other hand, Charvies arealways top.
Those masterbuilds from Jackson are really underwhelming. The quilts are pretty mediocre and the relics do not look good. Which is strange since Misha got such a nice reliced strat from them, I was expecting to see more stuff like that.
I understand the fear of gettin sued, but look at the new Suhr single cut, it really looks otherworldly and still has the LP vibe to it, look wise at least...The Monark looks just off.All of those are a bit off. The HS Soloist has a lot of frets which threw the proportions off. Jackson used to make cool Gibson copies but of course now that everyone’s actually worried about getting sued for it, they can’t be exact copies, and Jackson did not execute these well IMHO. The Xplorer is ok. The rest look wrong.
And these guys need to walk down to the Fender paint shop and learn how to relic a bit better. I have not ever intentionally sought to buy a relic but I wouldn’t not buy one I liked. But those relic jobs are just a bit bizarre.
They look more like regular production models really,far from being MasterbuildThe quilts are pretty mediocre and the relics do not look good.
I hope they won't, I've started saving for oneI obviously could be entirely wrong, but I certainly would not be surprised if Suhr gets a nasty letter from Gibson. Jackson amostly surely won’t.

Whoever is doing those relic guitars needs to be shot.
Not even sure he himself did the relic jobI'll admit, it's not a great relic job, but please don't kill Mike Shannon...
