I'm not a big fan of green, but that does look pretty awesome.

Hah thats awesome, glad you're digging it. I brought this guitar to rehearsals last night and it plays and sounds SICK. I actually have it setup in G with 11-65 and it handles it great (my others are tuned higher).

Thanks man! I really didnt know what to expect when I gave them the idea to do the "Greenocide", but it came out better than I had ever imagined.

Just a quick question; do they only offer alder as the body wood? Seeing the specs you have on this makes me realllllllllly want one, however I prefer basswood to alder.

They offer a number of different wood options. My other one has a mahogany body for example. I think Alder is an amazing tone wood for 7 string, much more resonant and tight to my ears than basswood. But if you wanted basswood they could certainly do that for ya.

Yes you can just contact a dealer who deals with USA Dean customs and they/we can make it happen.

Update: I'm now rocking green BKP Abraxas pickups in this and now it sounds 10x better than before (and the DiMarzios sounded awesome already). This is easily my favorite guitar at the moment :)

I've HATED that guitar every time I've seen it. Somehow it doesn't bother me nearly as much in green... :lol:

And maybe I was hanging out with Mayor Ford recently or something but is that a slightly different headstock from the normal one?

Nah its the same in-line pointy headstock as with all the other RC7s. I know older (pre-2009) RC7s had a slightly different shape, but it was a subtle difference.

Ahh then that might be what I remember. I haven't seen many of these (I really don't look for them either but that's nother story) I just seem to remember the headstock looking a *little* bit different last time I saw one which was admittedly a while ago. Thanks! :yesway:

These look great IMO. Just your typical Super-Strat style body but with a deeper cutaway and an even thinner neck. If the "Xenocide" graphic throws you off, here is my other one with an Aqua quilt top prior to its pickup swap:

I think my next one I'll go with no inlays but otherwise I'm super psyched on these :)
