So I am currently in the market for a new 7 string (currently trying to sell my c-7 hellraiser as it's just not as comfortable to play as my rg7620).
I like extended scale lengths and flat, thin, wide necks so immediatly started doing research on the RGD series.
I'm more of a fan of fixed bridge guitars (but i'll block the trem if i like all the other specs) so i started checking out the RGD7321. This is when i started to get a little worried.
Anyone who looks at the RGD7321 can plainly see that the bridge pickups is much closer to the neck than most bridge pickups. The RGD7320z has the same problem but not nearly as bad while the pickup placement of the RGD2127z looks to be about right.
So my question is will the pickup placement of the RGD7321/7320z have any noticable effect on the over all sound of the guitar? One would think that the farther away a pickup is from the bridge the less "crunch" or "chunky" quality there will be in the tone, as well as less definition and tightness. If this is true would i just be better of getting the RGD2127z?
As i said, i don't mind blocking the trem if i have to and tax time is coming up so with a bit of saving and depending on how much i get for my c7 Hellraiser i should be able to afford it.
I'm mainly looking for the personal opinions of people who owne an RGD series guitar, though everyone who has an opinion on the matter is welcome to chime in. As always I look forward to hearing your replies![Metal :metal: :metal:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hookem.gif)
