What's your favourite signature 7?

[espman]

Its between JP7's (both bfr's and nnon-bfr's), and this:

Bucky Pizzarelli Benedetto

 

[Underworld]

JP7, JP7 BFR and JPXI-7

I might have played many guitars that were built better, sounded better, and had bigger price tags, but as far as pure feel nothing has felt better to my hands than an old school UV. The necks, contours, and trem feel like they were made for me.

You know, it's kind of interesting... I think my RC7 plays a bit better than my UV7BK (probably because I'm just more used to it since I've had the RC7 for 1.5 years and the UV for 2 weeks, not to mention the UV needs and is currently getting a set up), but there's definitely something about the way the UV feels - neck, body, everything - that I just fucking love and draws me to it. It's a very difficult instrument to put down. I'm so glad I got it.

So, my votes for favorite production signature 7s (since I can't pick just one) and in no particular order:

UV7BK Green Dot
RC7G
JPX-7/JPXI-7

And going purely off of aesthetics since they're not in production yet:

Jackson Chris Broderick model (that trans white )
Peavey Devin Townsend V

Yes! 'Bout time there was some love for this wallet-destroying monster. The giant frets, the super-deep cutaway, the ultra-thin neck, the low-profile trem... what's not to love about this guitar? Well, maybe the graphic is a little much for some, but I think it's pretty cool.

This is the guitar I would have bought if I'd had the cash. The Broderick 7 is shaping up to be awesome too, though I imagine it'll be similarly merciless on the bank account.

The JPXI has Medium Jumbo
The JPX has Jumbo, wide
The BFRs, Baritone and Originals have High Profile, Wide

So.... yes, kind of?

Ha thank you for the information, it's a shame that I'm more confused than ever!

 

[Furtive Glance]

Oh wow that is my favorite one I have seen yet.

Keep in mind that picture is HDR'd to all Hell. The tops don't "pop" like that, unless under bright sunlight, from what I've seen in person.

[misingonestring]

either the UV7BK or the UV7PWH

 

[Goatfork]

This one for sure. It's just too sexy to resist

 

[simonXsludge]

it used to be this:

 

[Erick Kroenen]

this one

 

[MaxOfMetal]

this one

Those aren't sigs, they're customs. A sig denotes production.

 

[TheMasterplan]

Yep.

 

[Guitarman700]

Either the Loomis, A BFR JP7 or a ESP Carpenter sig.

 

[Erick Kroenen]

I really like the Dean David Shankle due to it having 29 frets and V. Perfection

I don't just mean the old UVs, but specifically the UV7BK "Green Dots". I don't know what it is, but they've always seemed to play the best, even compared to the "Silver Dots" and "PWHs".

I've owned three "Green Dots", two "PWHs", and a "Silver Dot" and all three "Green Dots" (90', and two 91's) played better. It's probably just a freak occurance.

I might have played many guitars that were built better, sounded better, and had bigger price tags, but as far as pure feel nothing has felt better to my hands than an old school UV. The necks, contours, and trem feel like they were made for me.

I totally agree.

I had to sell mine to buy a sensible 6, but I've since recovered and can't wait to pick up another.

The bridge pickup wasn't for me, but that's an easy fix. How do you like the Blaze bridge? It was a nice change at first but I just got tired of the lack of focus...

UV7BK is one of my all time favourite guitars, I can't wait to pick one up over the next few months (COME ON PAYDAY!)
