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).

Yeah, I actually added it because I thought it was hilarious - I think they might be going a little "too" viral with the marketing, y'know?

I am really eyeballing this guitar. Looks awesome!

Doesn't the mahogany make it muddy though? Does Christian's Custom ones also come in mahogany? Their last album has a clear tone which isn't muddy at all.

Cool cool.

I think Im sold now. \m/

Nice guitar.

Here i can't buy it, i have to buy it on ebay...

I'll have this guitar on Friday, I can't wait!

Damn You're Lucky

As much as I don't want to bump an old thread, what I have to say doesn't warrant a new one

I fuckin love both my COWs - a 6 string in black and a 7 string in black ahahaha
They play amazing, the neck is beautiful, they have such a menacing sound, they are great - the COW7 IMO is the nicest 7 string you can get outside of a custom shop, becauase the LTD 7 strings are all pretty bad. Really, bad, actually. I haven't tried the ESP stephen carpenter 7s. And I don't appreciate the rosewood fretboards of the Schecters, the longer scale, or set necks.

Unfortunately though, comparing the top end Japanese Jackson (SLSMG, the SL3 is equivalent just with a trem and HSS instead of dual EMGs) the COWs don't look so good. The neck thru SLSMG plays even better. Its like a total relevation every time I pick it up. It sounds not quite as mean though - it is mellower then the ultra-light COW6. It is definitely built much better and finished much nicer.

I really wish they made a SLS7MG ....

Perhaps but it's hard to complain, as we both know the COW7 is an insane value. My bandmate owns mine now, and I love having it around. It's a joy to look at and hear on a constant basis.
