Dying for one of these!

FWIW in broadening your search the S5527QFX is completely identical except for hardware color, top, finish, and binding all being different. I've had more than a few of both, they're phenomenal instruments.Dying for one of these!
I've played one at a local music store a few years back, I should've bought it right then and there.FWIW in broadening your search the S5527QFX is completely identical except for hardware color, top, finish, and binding all being different.

Yep, I've got Reverb alerts for both!FWIW in broadening your search the S5527QFX is completely identical except for hardware color, top, finish, and binding all being different. I've had more than a few of both, they're phenomenal instruments.
It's been quite a while since I've seen any of those in Reverb... I spent maybe 2+ years actively searching for the S5527 version with the LoPro. I got hold of a few but were in the other side of the globe or if within my "local" area, they were too expensive... until one landed on my laptop, almost literally... The S5527QFX would be great in the collection as well...Yep, I've got Reverb alerts for both!
I saw one at guitar center, that's why i still go in there sometimes. They had a Hapas 7-string one time tooIt's been quite a while since I've seen any of those in Reverb...

... Guitar Center is "on the other side of the globe" for me, lol... but if at the right price, I could eat the shipping and import tax... unlikely to happen finding one "at the right price"...I saw one at guitar center, that's why i still go in there sometimes.

Yes, its a Wenge/Paduak 5-Ply neck. It's ridiculously smooth and feels really nice.That's got a wenge neck, right? How do you like it?
These look like the same guitar with different finishes. Besides the pickups which I believe are different, what other huge differences did you find between these 2 guitars?My only 2 7's at the moment (probably not looking for anything else these 2 play great) Rg752-CMB and my 2001 Rg7620

the necks on the 752's are wider than the 720 necks, when left in their natural state quite a bit chunkier as well, 7620 headstocks stock are black., otherwise , same body wood, same hardware, different pickups ,that's about it.These look like the same guitar with different finishes.

The 12th and 24th fret dots are further apart in the 752...
The Blaze Custom was my favorite bridge pickup for a lot of time... but then I got tired of ceramic magnet loaded pickups some how...the necks on the 752's are wider than the 720 necks, when left in their natural state quite a bit chunkier as well, 7620 headstocks stock are black., otherwise , same body wood, same hardware, different pickups ,that's about it.
these 2 feel very different to play from each other but both are very comfortable. I've had a few 7620's where the high E string is falling off of the edge of the fret board, this one is nice and centered,
no playability issues.(which is the main reason I have flipped so many over the years) Pegasus/Liquifire in the blue, Blaze Custom/Blaze neck going into the 7620. I've had the Blaze Custom sitting new in the box in a drawer for 3 years , I figure , lets give it a try.
typically do not like ceramic pickups , but since I had this on hand I figured I'd give it a try. Everything sound good through the Mark IV , hell even the stock pickups in there now sound pretty bad ass.The Blaze Custom was my favorite bridge pickup for a lot of time... but then I got tired of ceramic magnet loaded pickups some how...
... A good rig makes bad quality guitars sound good... obviously a guitar isn't just its sound...I
