NGD: ESP Ben Savage BS-7

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Gotta say, this one is my favorite of the Whitechapel sigs. Nothing against Alex, though.

Grats.

Aghhh! It's so sexy! I need to add this and the AW to my army!
HNGD!!

Wow.. That looks amazing! Love the headstock!

hey, does it sound bright and djenty? or can it cope with say a jeff loomis low end tonewise?

In my experience it's somewhat brighter of a guitar, but it chugs well for Loomis type stuff, not really very djenty unless you're trying. I can switch between it and my all mahogany Hellraiser without much problem. The pickups will be the main difference between what you're wanting tone-wise. The EMGs in my 6 string Hellraiser have more gain than the CL/LF combo in my BS-7, so I have to add a bit more gain when I switch to the 7 from the 6.

thanks that really settled my concerns! but does the neck pu get a rich petrucci / michael romeo voicing or is it closer to malmsteen\loomis\becker tone?
thanks again
