Jackson DK-7 COW Model
zimbloth
05-11-2006
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).

As far as TOM's being to high, I don't think that's a bad thing. If the action is low anthe bridge is flat, you just have extra room for picking. I never ever had a problem. I do think flat hardtails are just plain easier to get along with, though. I certainly wouldn't let a TOM bridge stop me from buying and awesome guitar, that's for sure.
But everything is up at an angle! I pretty much have to change my entire picking style. I don't know, maybe I'm just being picky. I played the 6 string version and it was damn sweet although the action was horribly high(damn store setups)

Oh, I didn't see this, sorry.

The bridge is flawless man. It's perfectly comfortable. I have 10-59 strings in there, I pick very hard and it's very stable and comfortable. I routinely switch back and forth from my Ibanez w/ Lo Pros and the COW, and I never even notice a differently really. The COW plays like a dream. I seriously don't think you have anything to worry about. I didn't have to adjust my style at all going back and forth.

I obviously need to play more TOM bridges...

Perhaps a dumb question but is this guitar a neck through or a bolt on?

zimbloth ... what's the neck feel like? does it feel sticky? i wish they didn't paint the bolt on neck (like why do that?), but you have me gasing for a cow now.

The neck is smooth as hell. It feels like it's unfinished honestly. Never sticky, fast and smooth, no resistance anywhere. It's perfect. The guitar plays flawlessly. If you get one, you'll be very happy You could always play mine sometime if you're in the area.

so, let me scallop it!
