As some of you may have seen on other posts, I'm selling off some of my guitars to buy a high end 7-string. I want people opinion's on thru-necks. How much difference do they REALLY make to your tone? Are they worth paying out for, or would I be better off sticking to a bolt on neck with an AANJ or similar?
At the moment I have a few options I'm considering.
1. Blackmachine B7 (bolt on)
2. Jackson SLS Soloist 7 Custom Shop (neck-thru)
3. Carvin 727 retro fitted with better pickups (neck-thru)
4. LGM Leviiathan (bolt on), but I'm still not sure about that body shape.
I think I can get 2 Carvin's or LGM's for the price of the Blackmachine and Jackson. I also have to think about shipping costs and import duties on all but the Blackmachine.
