Jackson 7 String Fans - Chris Broderick 7 String Signature - Page 27

Dan Halen · 09-23-2011, 11:38 AM

so anyone got an idea when theyre actually going to release the lower end versions? i know they have plans to have an affordable one, because i deffinitly cant afford the custom shop version. i know that broderick said they were going to release 2 versions of a lower-end model one around 1000-1400 and one around 500-800. i just dont know when.

personally i think jackson should take up this design for the soloist compeletly and give the other body shape strictly to the dinky. considering the only real difference is that ones bolt-on and ones neck through.

Since the soloist is one of the most popular models and people like me absolutely love them and love the neck thru, that will never happen and if it did they would loose a lot of customers also since a lot of people still prefer the old soloist version. The fact they calls this a Soloist bothers me, this is NOT a soloist This is a Chris Broderick SIg model. Granted I love this guitar, this is not a soloist.

Also the Dinky is 7/8s the size of the soloist so their is a difference...

Reminds me of the SLSMG, which I ....ing LOVE.

Jackson sells more USA Soloists than everything else USA combined, so that would be what's commonly referred to as "commercial suicide".

I'll agree they're not far apart, though - they used to be considerably more different, with the Dinky only having 22 frets, for example.

Nope. They're the same size. The Dinky and Soloist are 7/8 the size of a standard Strat body, which is where the "Dinky" name comes from.

Yeah if Jackson ever stopped making USA Soloists I would have "Word" with Mike Shannon....

Ah ok thanks for clearing that up.

Larrikin666 · 10-28-2011, 03:36 PM

So one of these is showing up for sale on eBay. Anyone know what the deal is? I was under the impression that the lo pro Floyd Rose 7 still wasn't ready. Did Jackson just say "eff it" and threw on the normal Floyd 7?

eaeolian · 10-28-2011, 03:51 PM

These are two of the prototypes a store bought, and they're both signed. Not sure about the trems on the 7.

I want these guitars to be in production ASAP....or this new bridge needs to be available for purchase. I'd be happy with either one.

I was just told by a dealer that the bulk of these should start rolling in in about 4-6 weeks. Sweet! Can't wait to get my red one.

US versions or imports?

US. Maybe I missed it, but Ive heard nothing of the import version actually happening yet. Maybe Jackson will whip one out for NAMM but is there proof its even happening? I mean, Broderick himself said its not OK with him if his name is on a guitar that's not the exact same quality as the one he plays.

No imports before next year, if my sources are correct.

Church2224 · 11-04-2011, 03:25 PM

I still want conformation if the USA models are limited run or full on production because i have heard so many mixed things.

+1. If they made the 7 a full production US model I'd be all over that (even though I have to say I wish it was a regular soloist shape and not the 'guitar in motion' 7 they went with). Ahhh well, I'd still get it!

Betterlaidplans · 11-05-2011, 06:24 AM

+1 for not being a limited run mostly because limited run implies inflated retail price to me. It'd be great to be able to afford such a sick guitar. Loved the mark morton sig and the broderick is such a similar guitar but in 7. Trans white yes please

chris9 · 11-05-2011, 10:52 AM

i bought a signed white 7 it was built by mike shannon himself i,ll post pics as soon as it comes should be in a few days.

If I remember correctly, the USA Custom Shop ones were only made in a run of 50 or something. The eventual MIJ will be full production.

You better post those pics as soon as that baby shows up haha. I can't wait to see one with "real world" pics to fuel my GAS

Thor1777 · 11-06-2011, 08:08 AM

I think the black ones are sick, it was all I could do not to buy the one on ebay lol

chris9 · 11-09-2011, 03:52 AM

Well here are some pics it came yesterday and my god its awesome i have played a lot of sevens but this is the best by a long way. The finsih is amazing and the build is better than anything i have seen. It plays fantastic with a super low action and very easy high fret access and the neck is perfect. lets just say i,m a very happy man!!!!
