So we'll start small.
I'm not even sure what to call this guitar right now. I picked it up from guitar_jon on here. This guitar started it's life out as a simple 7420. The neck was swapped out with a 7620 neck with a birdseye maple board from Elysian. Custom ridiculously bright paint job. D-sonic in the bridge...not sure what we're throwing in the neck position yet. This is our other guitarist's wet dream. Getting this will let me get my 1527 back from him (I've never even touched it once since I got it).
After talking with the almighty Max, I'm not sure what we're going to do about the bridge. If we want to upgrade, we're gonna have to do some filing regardless of whether we go with the Edge Pro 7 or OFR 7. I'm leaving that decision to Chuck. Once we put the finishing touches on her, this frankensteined Ibanez will be pretty awesome.
Now for the larger acquisition.....
Yup.....I finally took the plunge and went for a full blown ESP. I trade my Laboga Mr. Hector Duo and some cash for it. I had always toyed around with the idea of picking up the LTD SC-607B, but I never pulled the trigger because of the rosewood fretboard (Yes, I hate them that much). I was also worried about the neck, and that proved to be a legitimate concern.
Folks...I have small freakin hands.
This issue didn't crop up much when we only played six strings. Luckily, the first seven I picked up was the JPX-7, and the neck on that is super thin and comfortable for me.
The STEF B7 neck profile doesn't make it impossible for me to play, but I definitely notice a bit of tension in my wrist as I'm playing (I know part of that is the extended scale as well). Other than that, the guitar is nice. It's the first alder guitar I've played, so the decreased weight threw me off at first. It's also really weird to play on a TOM bridge after using trems for so long. They used to be the ONLY thing I could play, but it seems to foreign now.
All in all....I kinda knew this guitar wasn't going to be for me long before I had it, but I couldn't resist the urge to own one. It'll be a fun guitar to mess around with until my KxK or BRJ customs get done.

My hand is only an inch bigger than yours.
