I know, hell, even ESP has a custom shop. Sure you may wait 12 months, and pay obscene amounts of money,but at least you can get what you want. I never understood why Ibanez took this approach either.

Or at least make 7-string versions of some of their 6-string models (RG7550 and RG7570 anyone? Or hell, an SZ7520, which could compete with the Schecter Blackjack series).

I'm kinda surprised he's using a Neutrik, I always thought Ibanez's recessed angled jack was the best. For me anyway.

It's like NASCAR....no one really thinks you can buy a Monte Carlo that goes that fast, so why even bother calling it one or putting the stickers on the side?

I guess the answer is people really are that gullible to marketing.
There was a time, in the early 90's, when most of the endorsers played somewhat stock-looking guitars. Murphy, Rocky George, Larry Mitchell, Skolnick, etc. The guys with notable customs, like Vai, Gilbert, and Beach had sig models available(even if only in Japan).

They seem to be a shell of their former selves now. Although when, if ever, have they had a seriously varied 7-string selection? The UVs were, but that was over a period of 7-8 years. The base RG7 has almost always been basswood with a rosewood board(RG76xx/74xx/7321/1527/1077/etc).

That is very nice! I wish Ibanez made a white hardtail seven with a maple board. That would be awesome.
