Random Pics of Your Sevens

[7stringDemon]

Succumbed to the GAS and grabbed a Q547. Not gonna lie, i wouldn't recommend it. This was the best of 4 available from Sweetwater, and it's still probably getting returned. The truss rod is max tightened, but there is still relief. Plus the frets are meh, and ALL of their necks were set crooked. It is definitely an $1100 standard series Still snapped some pics just for fun.



Also figured I would compare is to an S body. I know I was curious, at least. They're lined up at the nut.

Nope, they are black hawks. I haven't gotten around to trying the impulses.

Thanks!

Yeah I got pretty lucky, getting a nice piece (veneer) of flamed maple. Also really stoked to get a very dark wenge neck on this one too!

I've seen a few of these online with very dark wenge and I was hoping to get one like this and I totally lucked out.

I played the 6 string version of it sometime last year, and it left a long-lasting impression on me because I hated it so much. Idk why but I grabbed it, played it for 5 seconds and had an immediate feeling of "yuck wtf" that I couldn't shake off for the 15 minutes that I played it. I think it might have been the frets or the setup, not sure. Others I've seen in stores since have not had great QC, so I've been quite put off by these guitars since that first time I tried one. I think I've just had bad luck with them, because others LOVE these things. They do look nice, I'll say.

Thats a shame, given that theyre not exactly cheap guitars. The only people Ive seen who love them are Youtubers. And I dont trust their opinions on anything. I swear, half of them still take their stuff to GC for string changes.

First thing my friend said when he saw it was that it "looks like a fish"

Unfortunately I did end up returning it last night. Now im keeping my eyes peeled for used, basic spec Kiesel headless' in the $1200 range. Jeff may be a wacky guy, but his company sure as hell knows how to build a great guitar.

Yeah YouTubers idk, but I know a bunch of people here like them quite a lot.

Last time I saw a Q series at a store this is what struck me the most about it: (so much so I had to snap a picture)


Lower horn had a chunk of the top that was leftover at the end of that ridge after cutting the bevel.
Not a functional issue whatsoever, but that would personally not let me sleep right knowing it was there.
Sucks too because I find Ibanez QC to be pretty decent overall.

Anyway, I'll stop my rant now because I think I'm derailing the main topic of the thread quite a lot.

dropped in a set of Bare Knuckle Holydivers and a Magic Arm Trem into my 752 AHM, such a major improvement over the PAF 7's they ship these out with. NOW....this is a pretty kick ass 7
