Also, do you think a white guitar with blackburst edges would look nice? XD

They won't do white with a blackburst edge unfortunately, despite what their order form suggests. Everything is personal taste, but I really like their figured maple tops and their bridges. I don't like their floyd rose a lot.

I agree the RG7620 is a nice playing guitar, but we're talking about best for under $1500 not $500

Okay, this sounds better..... greenburst. Gold hardware. Buncha cool crap. Should I spring for active electronics?

I'm talking about new guitars btw.

i'd rather have this

Meh, ain't really a fan of the x220 shape... I think I will probably get that DC727, although I'm not sure about those stock PU's....

Best 7 under a grand? A used UV7BK.

Nah, but like other people have said, there's a ton of shit that rules. Personally, i'd reccomend any of the higher end schecters. (C7 BLackjack, C7 Hellraiser, and the Loomis sig), a basic carvin, a RG1527, a used RG7620. You could probably find some Jackson Stars 7 strings.

Basically, you're open to any production models you want, besides EBMM JP7's, JCustoms and other higher end guitars.

Hell yeah. i've been wanting to record a bunch of the music from doom for the longest time. I beat Doom & Doom II again about 2-3 weeks ago. The Icon of Sin is insane. \m/

I actually just ordered a 727 after trying a beaten to death one - actually, the PUs are quite nice for what I like. They are very clear and aren't real metal machines... But then again: I've always prefered low output PUs... oh, and I LOVE single coils!

If you go Carvin there is just one thing to remember: get stainless steel frets!!!

1500 will actually buy you a barebones EBMM JP7... So, my choice would be either a custom build, an EBMM with no options or a Carvin.

Cheers

Yeah, SS frets are the way to go. My spec'd out 727 is approx. $1330. Affordable, but I think the 8-10 week wait might kill me. lol
