+1.

I have much respect for Dave, but if you really want a DW sig, then speak with your $. Buy so many copies of his album that the duplication house can barely keep up. Make sure his concerts sell out.

Dave's a great player, and has worked really hard to get where he's at. From what I've read on his site, he knows the economics of it as well or better than anyone. He isn't big enough to support a sig model. Want one? Make him bigger and guitars will follow.

any pics of the guitar?

[twooos]

I created this petition, WAHEY!

Im aiming to get about 1000 sigs before i send it to Ibanez.

My dads going there on a business trip, i might just give it to him so he can personally give it to the Ibanez reps, its more classy lol.

Me too, I was already listening to petrucci, vai etc, but who really got me into 7s was Weiner. 2 Days after I listened to STSA I had my first 7!

+1 sig. but a color chart would be great. Please, not the rainbow one!
Maple fretboard FTW

Even if Dave were big enough, the other problem you'd have is that no 2 of those are the same. Even the closest 2, the '02 and the '03, have different body wood and different pickups (yeah, and different trems, but that is a non-issue).

That is not a criticism of Dave. I think it's great that he has so much variety. It's a criticism toward a production model. Ibanez isn't going to release 6 of them, and you can bet his production model would not have a floating trem. Seems to me I read an interview with him where he says he only has the trems any more because of his work with Vai. I could be wrong though, and please correct me if I am.

That leaves only 2. The rainbow and the blue strat. Again, 2 very different guitars. Let Dave come in to his own as a player. Let him have time to find the right combo of features for him. Support him with CD and concert tix purchases.

I personally don't think this will ever happen.

I love Dave Weiner's custom guitars, but there are a lot of more famous seven-string guitarists that do not have signature guitars and I don't see him getting a signature based solely on the fact that he plays with Vai.

(And no, his solo work is not famous enough to get him a signature).

I'd love to see one and I'd love to own one, but I think it's unrealistic. And I personally would not pay more than $1000 for one.

Agreed with Eric. Stranger things have happened, but I just can't imagine a signature DW 7 string at this point. Now a maple fb 7, even if it's a reissue of the old UVGY, I'm all for that!
