First of all I have to say I´m sorry because this guitar has been posted time ago but I was not able to find the thread.
ESP HRZ-560-7/GREEN ¡ÚÃæ¸ÅÉÊ¡Û

Tha fact is that I have found the place to buy it in good price, about 2000$, what do you think??

PD: The J Custom are sold where I usually buy, so I have to wait to spring

I´m looking for other options like this guitar and Caparison 7.

Thanks.

Don't buy it if You didn't play on it first

it's got way narrow strings then ibanez and could be pain in the ass if You solo a lot

overal. it's a great guitar and IMO worth the money

Oh, man, I'm about to stand up for ESP. Jeff is cackling with glee right now...

That is the exact same tune-o-matic bridge that everyone uses. Your statement is rulling out ESP, Jackson, Schecter, BC Rich, and everyone else that uses this fixed bridge design. It is the exact same string spacing as the six string version, which Gibson invented back in the 1950s. Since I know plenty of people who solo on a guitar with this bridge design...



...I really fail to see the problem. Now, if you want to bag on ESP's being difficult to play, then you should mention the pickup that is smack dab in the middle of the guitar.

I thought nikt was talking about the nut width

[nikt]

no, it's narrow on the nut not on the bridge. You can feel it on first 3-5 frets.

and I don't have a probem with the middle pickup. I love how it sounds and I'm not hitting it when I'm picking like few people that mentioned before

If he is, then he is wrong. Ibanez uses 1 7/8", just like nearly everyone else. I know there are a few two inchers floating around out there, but it isn't very common.

RG7620 nut width = 48mm

48mm = 1.8912in

1.8912in ~ 1 7/8"

You didn't play this guitar,didn't You??

Nikt, I've probably played more 7-string models than you. Just about every single Ibanez, Schecter, BC Rich, Jackson, and ESP/LTD you can think of, along with KxK, Washburn, Gibson, Fender, and Manne.

Just look at the locking nut Ibanez uses on their sevens. The lock blocks are narrower than they would be on a six. Neck profile counts for a lot more than people realize, and modern Ibanez sevens tend to have very shoulders, making them feel wider than they really are. Mike's Washburn 7 is the same, and we both would have sworn it was a 2" nut until he measured it. The broader taper as it the neck widens to the full size Floyd saddles at the bridge doesn't help your perception, either. Trust me, it is the same 1 7/8" width.
