NGD! Bringing it back to 1999 (MIJ Ibyy Content)

[Jake]

pics first:

So long story short I wanted a new 7 string and while I was browsing GC's online site I found a fantastic deal on this 1999 AX7521 with a case. This thing looks like it hasn't even been played since 1999 honestly, it has an unknown SD in the bridge that i'll identify once I get some strings to put on it because these are older than the earth itself. However sitting down with it it's a very well built guitar as you'd expect from the fujigen factory and even though it's a short scale 7 It'll do for what I need it for. I know most people hate this shape, model, color, scale length, hell everything about it but I like it. It's different that's for sure. Anyway I'm gonna go clean this baby up and pretend it's 1999 again by pretending to be Wes Borland .

Too good to pass up right? I bought an AX7221 last week for $90 but it's going back now that I got this. This thing is fantastic, just got done playing it for a little bit.

ive got the non-mij one. plays a hell of alot better than the rep it gets. after some heavy modding that is.

come on guys old at 6 and 11 in 1999. I was 23 in 99. That makes me feel older. Those were the days.

I technically have one too, however it got shipped to my house not to my college only 2 hours away.

I'm most likely gonna return it (not this one that is in the NGD) but we'll see what happens to it

HNGD! I had one of these for a while, played fantastic, I loved the neck carve it had. Sold it to some dude in Russia to buy a Universe, almost regret selling it...

 

[ZXIIIT]

Awesome find!

I want to get another one of these and set it up well, unlike I did when I first had it as a noob.

 

[Gram negative]

stop making me feel old!!! I was already 11 in 1999!!!

I had a bank account, credit, had graduated high school, and been playing guitar for 7 years.

Youre not old...and neither am I.


At the op- HAPPY NGD!!! Cool find!

 

[Shask]

I wont talk about age... other than saying I remember playing a ton of these in stores around that time....

 

[Jake]

Thanks everyone! Despite the short scale it's pretty playable in A right now with what I'd assume is a 56 on it, I've ordered a bunch of random strings to play around with tension and tunings so we'll see how well it handles a .60 and go from there
