I think you have that backwards mate, it has EMGs though they're now endorsed by DiMarzio

Ben's guitar does have DiMarzio's - it was changed very last minute along with removing the "SAVAGE" inlay on the 12th fret.

 

[Sicarius]

It's not right, the AW-7 have a fixed bridge. And the BS-7 have DiMarzios not EMG?!

The specs I originally posted were from when they were originally announced.

 

[themike]

Oh come on ... it's a 2012-model and it ships mid-2012? You gotta be kidding me...

You need to understand that it debuted at NAMM which stands for "Not Available Maybe May".

Yeah because OF COURSE they had to make a choice that now is making me hesitate between the two models.... Grmph. One having EMGs made the choice easier. The Wade still has that strat shape nothing else can approximate though.

I'd like to say I am pretty unbiased even though I helped with the AW model - because I would rock a BS-7 in a heartbeat but when it came down to recording the album the band and production team agreed that the AW sounded the best out of all the guitars they used (signatures as well as other brands) so if tonez is what you want, and you dig the asthetics of the AW, it seems like a good choice

Anyone got an update on when these will be in?

Ah, didn't notice they change it Does that mean only one has EMG routes now?

Would also like to know.

Are we looking at early or the dead end of May?

 

[Stuck_in_a_dream]

I mean it's not like "OMG THIS HIPSHOT IS THE HOLY GRAIL AND THE ESP BRIDGE IS DONKEY POO" but it is noticeably better. I personally would think it would be worth the upgrade since the guitar is at an awesome price.

I was looking at Hipshot's web site and they have two versions (according to string spacing I guess?!!). So if Alex or anyone who knows about this, let us know which one to get, the .125 or the .175, here:

Question:
What is the difference between the .125 and .175 hardtail guitar bridges ?

Answer:

The only difference between the 2 bridges is the floor height beneath the saddles. The .175 floor height would give you a higher action. Most applications call for the .125 floor

 

[Stuck_in_a_dream]

Awesome! Thanks, you'd think that (like for bass bridges) it will have to do w/ string spacing or something more tangible. .125 it is, can't wait for the AW-7, it will be my 1st 7-string .

 

[Heineken]

Has anybody gotten one of these yet? I'm hopin to see a flood of NGD in the forum lol.

 

[Buddha92]

i like this one the most.

 

[L1ght]

Whoever gets that AW-7 better post here!!! I want to know what the neck feels like, because if it's anything similar to an Ibanez neck, that guitar is number one on my list of 7's. Especially with that decent price tag.

 

[spawnofthesith]

I feel like I should still buy one of these even though I just bought an LTD H-1007 :/

 

[Grack]

Whoever gets that AW-7

Try everyone in this thread.

 

[IronGoliath]

I ordered one of the only 4 AW-7's that are coming into Canada.

Edited for clarity :3
