    See here

    A mere €534.78 aswell.

    I know there's some peeps here who've had their eye on those rather nice Edwards guitars. I must say, it looks interesting, and reversed pointed headstocks are always a plus. :D

    That one's nice, I found the seven string selection a little lacking though.

    7 Strings are a bit of a niche market anyway, so yeah, they would be lacking compared to 6 Strings. I like that red one though, very nice indeed.

    Wouldn't mind tracking down a second hand Ibanez K-7 Korn signature seven string. Like this one

    You know, I saw one of those going for £650 on Ebay, same colour and all. It was snapped up very quick though.

    I really don't like Korns signature Ibanez, it's really plain looking. I'm sure it sounds great though. That Jaguar style one above looks great.

    Well good luck with it, I've heard some amazing things about K7s. Be sure to post plenty of pics when you get it.

    Dont like those Korn guitars at all... id go for something with a nice flame top, or at the very least a more intersting colour than grey..

    Also, that one Don posted a link to is counterfeit...

    The blue K-7 with the white hardware is absolutely gorgeous imo.

    Agreed, though I saw another picture of a K7 with white pickups aswell, and that looked even better.

    Seeing as my RG1527 is blue, I was thinking I could just get some white bobbin toppers for it. Snazzy. :D

    You can tell, seeing as there's a tone knob, and a different inlay.

    Found some pics, but not great quality:

    I don't like Korn, but they do have nice guitars.

    They have different guitars :p Not overly garrish (Jem anyone), not overly complicated (Petrucci's Piezo 7), just simple and usable. If they came with a tone knob which was a coil tap and I'd think about it...

    A tone knob with a coil tap would just be pointless because most Ibanez guitars have 5-way switches with coil tapping.

    Gah, can't deal with 5 way switches. If I get a strat, it'll be a three way switch with push-pull pots everywhere.

    I like 'em, but I can see why you wouldn't. You can get more combinations with push-pull pots and a 3 way, whereas with your 5-way, you've stuck with those 5 settings.

    Of course, you could get a mega switch and push pulls...

    Why stop there? Add a phase switch aswell. ;)

    Ah right, you'd end up with a fair amount of knobs then. ;)

    Speaking of 7 Strings though, something that's really tickled my fancy as of late is the LTD SC-607B. Neck-through, 27" scale, mahogany body. Very nice.

    Actually, just looking at the Ibanez site now, and the K7 is actually a 3-way! It'd be very easy to set up a coil split with a push/pull on the volume knob. ;)

    It's alright, and definetly a good price, but guitars with 1 pickup are a big turn-off for me.

    Oh, I do like the minimal look, especially the ebony fretboard with no inlays, that's just incredibly slick. It's the fact that it only has 1 pickup that puts me off.
