My RG7321 with Dimarzio Evo7 (b) and Blaze Custom (n). Green fret markers are on the "to do" list.

Huh, I didn't know the RG7321 had white binding on the side of the neck.

And dude, you have a blaze custom in the neck???? How does that sound? I'm guessing that air currents in the room are enough to make sounds jump from your amp...

Metalfiend, that's a sick axe dude!

To be honest, one thing I've never understood is green pickups and green fret markers. To me, they are very ugly. No offense intended. To each his own. I just would like someone to explain this to me. I've seen so many awesome-looking guitars that I thought were ruined by green pickups or green fret markers (or both) and I've always wanted to ask why ANYONE would do that. Why green? To force people to look at it? And it's not a normal deep dark green either. It's a bright neon green... Is it to be obnoxious? Sorry. Don't mean to be rude. I'd just seriously like to know the reasoning behind it. I never even see other colored pickups (except the regular black, and silver and gold plated)

I think Metalfiend666's guitar looks great (except for the green).

Well guys, I've always liked green and I think the original black & green Universe is really cool. I like the kind of in your face colour clash. I did it as a bit of a homage to Vai and to get reactions out of people. If I'd just put regular black pickups in, people would just react as if it's a normal guitar. Now it's a marmite guitar. You either love it or hate it. But you can't argue that it doesn't sear though a high gain amp.

Nik - according to Dimarzio's tone charts, the Blaze Custom is pretty much just a hotter AN7 with a touch more mid. It actually pairs up really well with the Evo7. Only a minimal volume drop when going to the neck pickup.

Naren - Have a look at the colour options on the Dimarzio site. Red, blue, purple, yellow, the list goes on!

Cool, thanks for clearing that up. 410 struck me as crazy output for a neck pick-up at a glance

And on a side-note, I personally never understood the green either (or those ugly swirl paint jobs (sorry Ken )....

Thanks for answering my question. That perfectly makes sense.

I have looked at the color options on the DiMarzio site and I think some of those colors would look cool and some wouldn't. I personally thought the green was the ugliest of them all, but that it could be nice looking if it wasn't a neon green but instead a dark forest green.

As for Vai, I love the guy and think 90% of his guitars look awesome. But he's owned over 100 guitars (he has pictures of them all on his site) and some of them, I think, just look ridiculous. I just never was a fan of the neon green. But, everyone's different 'n' stuff.

Nik: I never understood those swirl jobs either. They make me feel nauseous.

7321s are NICE guitars. the new 5 piece necks feel so awesome and smooth. i would pick one up but i don't really want to deal with changing the pickups and whatnot. it's a fantastic guitar though. feels really nice and plays great. you won't be dissapointed.

neck binding =pure sex
