Sterling Jp7

[MiPwnYew]

Oh hell.... My bank account wont like this..



I have a JP50 that plays pretty well, just has a few tall frets that need to get leveled out. I play it a lot more than my more expensive Ibanez

 

[geeman8]

Awesome! I can actually afford one of these!

For a while I thought the Sterling 7s were just some mythical beast, only spoken of in damp, dark rooms.... Glad to know I was wrong

what is the price of this going to be? i might just say Forget about buying a carvin is this comes out soon.

Now we just need a Sterling JPX/JPX7. I'm also waiting pretty patiently on those PRS SE 7 strings.

If they won't do a full run of USA 7s, what do you think the chances are of an SE version?

This Sterling looks cool though, and if it's anything like my JP100...

Im going to guess around $650 - $900

I have a couple of friends that were looking at a PRS endorsement and got to see a couple prototypes, one of them is a pretty respected member on this board and has posted multiple times on his Facebook page how he is waiting for them to be released. Also, why would they produce a large line of USA models without seeing how the SE 7s sell ? That would be like them making a USA Torero without making the SE first. Why would ESP make a LTD Alex Wade 7 string before making an actual ESP or Schecter make a Diamond Series Loomis without a USA model ? It's all supply and demand. Also, the majority of actual USA PRS players aren't usually 7 stringers. Also, for what the cost to make 1 USA model PRS 7 string, they could sell 40 SEs. But back to the subject at hand, I'm definitely going to get one of these JP7s !

Headstock is all black, so my guess is it'll be akin to the JP60 possibly? I'd expect a 699USD pricetag

Been waiting for this.. amazing news

I have officially come out of 7-string GAS retirement!

 

[themightyjaymoe]

Yep, newest GAS.

I for one would love one of these.

 

[7stringDemon]

This'll be cool. I enjoy Sterlings. I played a matte black JP50 that was awesome!

How are the trems on the sterling JPs? Might consider one of these at some point.

 

[DMAallday]

I'm really excited about this!!

Meh, not bad. The nut is more of a problem then the trem/tuners.

 

[Kurzweiler]

wow, I like this!!

 

[Valennic]

I wish my local GC would get something like that in. They can't really do any ERG anything because the market dictates Strats and Gibsons. Plus one or two PRSi. The sterlings they DO have in are setup absolutely terribly. I feel they'd be good if they just gave them some attention.

 

[MiPwnYew]

I bought a JP50 on the bay for $275 with CL/LF pickups to try out. I added a graphtech nut and got it set up and it seriously plays great. I literally TRIED to make it go out of tune by using the whammy bar like an idiot, doing tons of bends and pulls and it stays in tune great


I'd definitely be down for a JP7

 

[canuck brian]

Can someone tell me what the saddles are on the Sterlings? I've got a couple of Ghost systems here that fit Hipshot bridges and I'd love to convert the Sterling JP7 to piezo...

Edit - from teh pics i've seen online i can use the hipshot ones. There's a couple of guys who have swapped out their saddles for string saver ones. Now if i can swap the bridge on them for the Hipshot contour bridge that would rule.
