Jackson DK-7 COW Model

Features:

The DK7 is a pretty straight-forward setup, but has great features where it counts. Mahogany makes up both the body and neck. The fretboard is slick ebony with no inlays (just how I like it). It has a single EMG 707 pickup in the bridge. Hard-Tail. Reverse headstock. Single volume knob, no tone (!). The only thing that could be better here, would be better tuners. The tuners are nice, but I like Sperzels/Schallers. But, for $699 for an instrument of this quality, there's no room for complaints. Also, this guitar is flat out sexy. The pictures online really don't do it justice, seeing it at angles is especially flattering, which the pics below should show somewhat (although my digicam blows).

Rating: ...

I use 0.13-0.56+0.64 to tune in G# (not dropped). This guitar is damn cool for this price, and sounds great with 707. I'd like to try 81/7 on this model, and also customize it painting like an ESP custom:



damn the poll values went wrong and don't know how to change them, sorry

I've heard a lot of good things about this guitar now. I know Jackson plays very well in general. I'm just not a fan of the lack of flexibility in a single pickup, and all these 7 strings are coming in mahogany which is nice, but its such a dense wood to use in low tunings.
