Ah right. Well if they end up being even cheaper than $1700US I think I'll definitely be flying over for a guitar retail therapy holiday

Better start booking your flight. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DDWR7DSA

Ordered my DDWR7 today. Supposed to get it mid to late February. Does anyone know if this will fit in the Kelly/Warrior hard shell case that Jackson offers?

Heard the Good News about Maple Fretboards?
It looks sick, but is pricey. FR2000?
Also, has Sweetwater always been no returns for special order items?

As far as I can remember. I'm guessing it just says special order because they haven't been given any stock yet. A lot of the new Jacksons say Special Order

Sometimes they say reserve yours now risk free etc. But for some reason they’re not doing that for the WR7.

The FR2000 is a Pro Series Floyd. This a Floyd built to OFR specs in Korea. They are built with quality materials and are well built. I ordered mine through Sweetwater. There no return policy is simply that you can not return it just because you do not like it if the guitar has any defects or issues you can return it. I actually contacted them to verify this because I was concerned buying an Indo built guitar that I could not if I found problems with or had defects.

I've had a few FR2000s and they're fine enough, but I guess the metric in my head is that if they're cutting some cost off there, then it should pay off in the form of a case at least.
And thanks for posting about the verification. Jackson does good, but they have their share of lemons. I've seen too many SL2 Pros not in acceptable condition for new to take that risk.
The Pro series FR is fine. It needs some oiling and to work in the threading when brand new, but the saddles and baseplate/knife edges are solid.
Long term I'd probably replace the smaller hardware pieces, but that goes for a lot of trems.

I have the USA custom shop WR7 and it came in one of the Kelly/warrior hardshells that you mentioned. I'm guessing you should have no problem.

Anyone have any idea why in Odin’s name Charvel decided to make their only 7 string a TELE? Holy niche market, Batman. I’d buy a pink San Dimas double cut manana if they made it in a 7, but NFW I’m buying a black tele.
(Yessss, as I stated earlier, I have been drinking. So leave me the fuck alone. But still answer my question.)

I think that's the problem, they were drinking when they made that design choice.

Thanks, I was just concerned since I have a King V and have their case for King V/Rhoads and there is no way a 7 inline headstock is fitting in that case.

I’m stunned they didn’t release at least a 24-fret So Cal 7 this year.

Surprised to hear that. I own 3 and played another at a store prior to buying mine and they are all solid.

The more I look at it, the more I'm wanting it. It may very well be my next guitar.

It comes in natural too.
But in all seriousness, Charvel just likes to give Schecter a solid year or so to show them how to modernize their own guitars before they really give it a go.
I had a first run RRMG that played well, but had nonsensically put black dots on black ivoroid binding, couldn't see them for shit, putting stickers on was annoying, etc. But I tried out three first run SL2s and all had major fret sprouting, cracks in weird places... I was super bummed, I think the SL2 Pro is great, so I'm really stoked/hoping they cleaned it up. I haven't had many chances to try out the Indo stuff since, mostly just X series at GC when I'm there.
However, all the MiM stuff from the Pro line and Pro Mods? Epically great. I've had a DK2 and a couple Pro Mods. All great guitars. The DK7 I got to play a bit was really awesome as well.
I have no reason to believe they can't get the Indo guitars on the same level as the Mexican ones, I just personally haven't had the chance to see it. So very glad to hear that is the case.

Nice! I was a big fan of the Soloist (mahogany, neck thru) which is why I went with it over the dinky but I definitely want to check out the MiM builds to compare.
What year was the first run that you tried?
