Oh man, I can't decide.

These are my choices
EBMM Pet 7= love birdseye neck and MM quality.
Ibanez Universe=a lot of money for an import.
Carvin 727= Never really played one, I hate licensed Floyds and need trem.
Ibanez RG7= high price for used import.
Ibanez RG1527 AND a Carvin 727 both

And yes, sleep has been lost. The styles I play are varied so..it does not have to be a metal machine only.

I hate to say it, but i consider it foolish to discrimate against high end japanese guitars. I'd take a Japanese Ibanez or ESP over every american guitar except maybe jackson. (i've owned 3 universes at once in the past, currently own 2 and have had both the RG7620 & the RG1527).
That said,my universes are the best guitars i've ever played.

Glad to hear you like the Ibanez.

<<< You know what gets my vote.

Although it'll depend on if you prefer a locking floyd and all that hoo ha. The JP7 actually stays in tune very well considering it's not a locking one. If it didn't, I doubt Petrucci would use it.

Out of those, I'd grab the universe. You can't beat the Ibanez.

Out of all sevens, I'd be all over the guitar in my sig. Baritone scale-length makes all the difference in the world on a seven (or eight) string.

Personally, I'd go with the JP7, but that's me. I think a high-end Ibanez and an EBMM would be about even in terms of quality, so it'd really come down to personal preference. Do you want a locking trem? Which neck feels better to you? Which guitar sounds better to your ear? Which one do you think looks better?

Christopher · 07-05-2005, 06:51 PM

I'd go with the EB/MM but I'm severely biased. My Petrucci 7 is my favorite of all the other guitars I've ever played... EVER!

I've been playing Ibanez 7-strings for nearly 8 years and that alone shows that Ibanez Japan-made guitars, especially 7-strings are the shit.

My first 7 was a 7620 and It was the perfect first 7-string. I'd get one of those.

By the way, that ESP LTD SC-7 is sweet but I like Shannon's. His is nice!

To choose based on country of orgin is foolish.
