What are the worst 7s, that you shouldn't buy?

Kotex · 02-16-2007, 12:48 AM

I own the Wash 7 and the Ibby. Neither of which suck.

I didnt think the cheapo Washburn was bad.

Anyways this thread seems kind of negative but I guess I'll chime in with mine, the ones I really hate are the older Schecters, just very clunky and heavy and a dull sound to them. I also don't care for the Jacksons either (other than the COW). Or the korean Ibanez ones.

The only ones I know of that I don't like are the Ibanez AXs (and they're pretty damn ugly too). I've heard the GIOs are bad, but I've never played one before.

i was shredding on a GIO a few minutes ago... it really depends on your playing ability. A GIO with new tuners and EMG's would own the shit out of the schecter blackjack

We're talking about the quality of the instrument. sure it might play well, but its not gonna be nearly on par with the quality of a blackjack. A Gio is made with plywood, the construction is pretty substandard in general. A Blackjack is made from a real chunk of mahogany, has real pickups, real attention to detail, actual fretwork, etc. Playing ability has nothing to do with quality. I know people that can shred like motherfuckers on anything, but there's a reason why they dont play GIO's and 100$ epiphones.

Metal Ken said it best: "Playing ability has nothing to do with quality." I have an Epiphone LP at my house in the US (I paid about $380-400 for it new before I modded it) with Seymour Duncan '59 pickups, a new nut, and several other modifications and it's not a bad guitar by any means, but it sounds puny - pathetic, really - compared to my Gibson LP or to my Ibanez RG1527 (with the Blaze Custom).

I've play a lot of 7's and by far the worst is the first I owned, the Dean MLX7. If you want a guitar so neck heavy the headstock slams into the floor the second you let go of the neck with thin, muddy pickups, this is the guitar you want. I was glad to be shot of it. The Korean RG7321 I replaced it with was a damn good guitar once I changed the pickups.

Older Schecters are ok, but the new one's blow them away. My Blackjack is a really, really nice guitar. It's currently getting more play than my Universe.
