Do you guys like the 13.7 radius on the neck???, dont most ibanez necks have a near flat radius, "I know thats the "in" guitar around here"

13.7 seems to rounded to be as shred friendly as it could be, Personally I like the fully flat radius like jackson necks

Exactly. 4+3 or a string tree isn't going to improve tension. Why do people think that? The scale and/or inherent string density are the ONLY things that improve/decrease tension, and the scale is ONLY important from nut to bridge. The tuners and strings trees got shit to do with it.

PS Ha, Drew! I'm drunk and I can type just fine. (Of course, I've corrected this a few times )

Unless they mean the low string's slipping off the nut. Is the headstock angled at all?

Er, looks angled now that I've checked it. And on a locking nut it wouldn't matter anyways.

What guage strings do they come with? Because that's most likely the problem.

So now I am getting comments for v 2.0

So far comments I am getting are
1) Change the logo
2) Need more string tension on low B add a tree or go 4+3
3) Loose coil tap switch or convert to a push pull pot.
4) More colors
5) Do a 25.5 version

More?
i wanna see that trans top with the orignal "prototype" red color with hard tail and maybe non reversed headstock??

Good god!!!!! I am going to start saving up money ASAP to line the pockets of the person who came up with this thing with.
Changes??? I would like to see a 25.5 inch scale version, although you should keep the 27 inch available. The other guitarist in our band just got an RG7421XL and loves the extended length.
If this guitar was offered in an oil/satin mahagony, walnut, or maple finish (something exactly like those new RG Arch 6 string guitars by Ibanez), i would actually die if i laid eyes upon it. It would be....almost too glorious. The effect the beauty of such an intrument would have upon me would be akin to what happened to the Nazis in Indiana Jones when they opened the ark of the covenant. I would, however, die an extremely happy man. PLEASE offer the guitar in that type of finish!!!!!!!!!!
More finish options are a must. 7 stringers have never been offered many color options from a production guitar, and this would be a hell of a great change of pace. Please offer other transparent colors (i put up another vote for transparent green.... although i'd also love to see a transparent bright, brassy green). Trans red would look hot on this thing. More solid colors would be great, too. Standard black would be great, but silver, green, red, NEON GREEN, and blue would also be sweet. If you would offer this guitar in bright white with black hardware.... oh my dear god.... i'd buy one to play for every day of the week, and i'm not even joking. The thought of such an axe makes me feel things that i shouldn't feel for a guitar... mmm...
A fully bound body, neck, and headstock would be incrediby awesome. Again, not something 7 string players are offered often. A solid (or transparent, or flat) black version of this guitar with white binding all over would = pure sex.
The logo looks fine to me. The headstock is also pretty sweet, which is kind of a shock to me. I'm usually not a fan of reverse headstocks. Just to satisfy my curiousity, i'd like to see the same headstock in a non-reverse style, though.
A 5-way switch would be great instead of a 3 way w/tap switch.
Definitley continue to offer the option of hard tail or Floyd!!!
Maybe i'm just a wuss, but i am pretty attatched to my fretboard markers. I can get around fine on my classical without fret dots of any kind, but i think flying blind on an electric would be a little hectic, especially when playing shows in little to no light. If you do decide to add markers, i think corner dots (like Ibanez offered on the USRG models) would look amazing on this guitar. That or, just throw on two white corner dots on the 12th fret (ala the RG2027).
I think thats all the suggestions i have. I know i just spat out a lot of stuff, but these are all things i've had on my wish list since i started playing 7 strings. I've always hated that 7 stringers are never offered options, and the fact that you're coming onto this board and asking what we want is a beacon of hope to me. This is far more interest in us 7 string players than has ever been offered by other companies. I think the fact that you're listening to your buyers requests and offering them a unique guitar at a stellar price will get you places QUICKLY. As i said, we're just NEVER offered options from production guitar makers, so we're absolutely starved for the kind of service you're offering here. As long as you coninue to listen to the wishes of your customers, i see a long-lasting and loyal customer base for you.
Keep us updated!!!

I think I might just go for the baritone 6 they have..it looks pretty sweet (and for that price! ) and wait until the newer line of 7's come out.
As long as I get a guitar that is somehow tuned in B right now thats all I want

Coconut!!
