Just got the 7 string bug about 2 months ago (thanks to Loomis,Smythe/Broderick and company)

I've been on a tear trying to learn every Nevermore song from their last 3 albums that I can.
my 7 weapon at the moment ESP M-207. found it for dirt cheap in a daddys.
Not bad, great rhythm guitar , the previous owner put in a real duncan at the bridge so it sounds great, but it doesn't feel great to play lead on.
It also does feel kind of cheap to me, but it did make me realize that I love playing 7's so I am trying to figure out where to go from here.
Ibanez necks are a little too thin for me. I've been looking at the Caparison Dellinger 7, the Boel Marcel Coenen model, or maybe having GMW make me a custom, since I actually like maple boards better than Rosewood or Ebony.
A hellraiser 7 is definitely an option too (if I could ever find one to try)

my 6 string set up GMW charvel clone (killer guitar) 5150 , B-52 At 212 Marshall 1960Ax cab , Avatar 2X12 hellatone V30's cab.

2001 USA SL2H Jackson soloist.

Hola Amigo

Welcome

Well, depends how much you've got to spend. An M-307 is the next step up and is neck-through with EMG-HZ's. Replace those with real EMG's and you've got a killer guitar. Obviously there's the ESP Carpenter's and if you've got lots of money you could always get an ESP custom shop.

Otherwise a Schecter Hellraiser or Blackjack is a good option.

kmanick · 09-05-2006, 11:45 AM

The hellraiser 7 is on my list as next to check out, but ideally I'd love a maple board neck thru 7 with a floyd.
I'm probably looking at a custom shop aren't I?

metalfiend666 · 09-05-2006, 11:49 AM

Probably. I've seen very few maple boarded 7's, the only "common" one that comes to mind is the old green Universe. If you want a neck through 7 with a fatter neck, try a Carvin. They have a maple board option.

eaeolian · 09-05-2006, 11:50 AM

Oh yeah. If soneone made a 7 with those specs, I'd own it.

Oh, and welcome. Nice top on the GMW.

kmanick · 09-05-2006, 11:53 AM

thanks
that GMW is an amazing player.

Not a top it's a solid maple 2 piece quilted body.
here's what the back looks like

If I could get this exact guitar in a 7 (strathead and all) I'd be in heaven.

metalfiend666 · 09-05-2006, 11:56 AM

Carvin have the 727 with 2 humbuckers or the 747 with a single coil in the middle.

...but without a real Floyd - just the loTRS crap - and you can't drop one in without re-routing.

Yeesh. I bet that hurt the wallet a tad.

kmanick · 09-05-2006, 12:17 PM

I actually got it on an even trade for a Ratt Bomber Graphic GMW that I had
and I won that one on Ebay for $1,200.00, so not too bad.

this one

that was a cool guitar too, but the blue one was calling my name.
