Not a Gibson my friend, it's an Epiphone.
The guy that asked about Gibson asked for "real" Gibsons.

It's still badass
OH the real Gibson I was not see ever. But I think that is the closerest to Gibson

Gibson doesn't make any 7s, but Epiphone has.
Thank for translate that I was want to say

Wow, don't those usually go for like $300?
My bass player would love that. I just called him about it.

I think it's priced a little high.
I agree. But he's desperate. He might actually pick it up.
hey yevets, good eye man, but yea, i'm thinkin about a "real" gibby, i know an epiphone would be probably close, but i know myself, i wouldnt be satisfied, and someone, i think it was mike, said that gibby actually has made them, but it was around 50k give or take, so i think my dream is dead
on to my new dream, a neck through s7 from christopher woods, (but with that wait time, that dream is probably dead too)

I think $50k is a gross overstatment. There was an explorer 7 floating around on ebay for a few years that was only about $4000.
i kinda figured that it was a little crazy high there, i figured 5 to 10 grand probably, but ya never know with some of these companies, lots of things can sound believable

I actually thought the weird pickguard and huge metal bridge plate made the thing look stupid. It looks ridiculously out of proportion and Im guessing the neck would suck. Someone mentioned how lots of companies dont make a 7 string, they slap a 7 neck on a 6 string. Thats what gibson has done with each design they or epiphone have made. They look like huge necks on little bodies and are generally ugly.
Oh...I wish I could find the picture of that Gibson Explorer VII. Anyone have it?!
