[Drew]

Ok, I just heard back from Jason @ DCGL. I wrote back to make sure it was cool to pass this along, but then realized since they're releasing it to customers anyway on request, it's cool, so here we go:

Jeff Loomis signature model

tacit confirmation that it's 26.5" and alder
maple set neck
Original (non-liscensed) Floyd Rose
List price: $1299
Street Price $899
In stock in an estimated 6-8 weeks

I want one.

We include an Ernie Ball strap,8-picks,extra set of strings and a Schecter tee shirt w/guitar purchase !
Our Tech will set the Guitar up to your specs at no-charge

...I reckon that, with the painted headstock, that'd be untouchable!

(unless Ibanez bring out a high end S7...Game on!)

I highly doubt that's gonna happen.
I mean, it took them 4 years to come back with a new production "s"...
I guess they'll check how the sales goes... Maybe if it does very, very well...

Holy crap! Same price as a C-7 Hellraiser?

Damn, I want a Loomis Sig!!!

I'm not sure, but I think the Hellraiser's $799.

Edit - they're actually $699 now, they seem to have dropped it another hundred (though I think it stopped at $749 on the way down, come to think of it). So it's a $200 upcharge.

Set Neck
26.5" Scale
Ash body

Ash, not alder, but I can live with that.

That was some bland-ass ash in the pic, but ash rules the asshole, so ... omg ... man, I want this...but I really don't want a strat shape atm.

 

[bulb]

aww thanks

I emailed Jason today and he told me the same thing. One of these will definitely be on the way to me when its released. Its kinda what I've been waiting for to venture into the world of 7's. I'm thinking it will be a damn good place to start!

Cant wait for those 6 - 8 weeks to pass!

 

[noodles]

So it's a $200 upcharge.

About right, since it is a sig model and sports a real Floyd.

That just switched it from "maybe" to "must have". Ash!

but ash rules the asshole, so ... omg

[Unknown Doodl3.2]

anybody else think that the maple board could also be a tribute to jason becker? I know jeff's a huge fan of jason...

 

[bulb]

its probably what turned him on to trying a maple board/neck. Then he realized that maple boards/necks ftw!

 

[JJ Rodriguez]

I hate the way maple feels, and it gets so damn dirty looking. I'm a neat freak when it comes to my guitars, I clean and oil my fretboard pretty much every string change, and polish them up. Some people dig the beat up/dirty guitar look, but I can't stand my guitars getting dirty, which is surprising because I'm such a slob.

 

[Unknown Doodl3.2]

I havent really played enough maple boards to decide if I like em or not, Ive played fender strats which had em, and I don't like strats so...

amen to that!!!

One question I have about maple fret boards, are they ALL lacquered, or is that just a fender thing?

 

[Seedawakener]

so how does Ash sound? Is it god for death metal by any chance? I might have to exchange my hellraiser for this one .

It's a fender thing. A laquered maple fretboard WILL stay clean. An unlaquered one will not. Looking at it, it's tough to tell, but I'm guessing a semi-gloss neck finish, which I'm cool with. It also (and I could be wrong) looks bound in black.

Noodles, I'm with you. I may actually slightly prefer ash, as it's the more "traditional" strat sound, and with that great sparkle, depth, and clear mids, it'd rule for a seven.
