UV777BK VS K7... ok, GO!!!

OK, I'm in a bit of a spot. I really need to get another 7 since my blue s7420fm is get all the abuse and I want it to live forever. I figure it's about time for a new 7 and a sick one. I've been looking at Uv777's and K7's and can't come to a conclusion. If someone would be so kind as to make this a poll that would rock. I'm not sure that the stock pickups would survive at any rate, so I'm thinking, UV777+new pickgard+EMG 81-7+EMG 707= slay all day. Let me know what you guys think.
rock on.

yeah, I can't stand the K7's... I don't know why, I just don't like them. It isn't because it's Korn, and it isn't because it's severely overpriced like the UV, but it's something.


UV ALL THE WAY

do it man, you'll love a UV, i know i do(can't wait to get a new pickup though), and if you get a new pick guard made by sharp concepts, make sure you mention my name(Adam Bath) and this forum, and they will give you a bit of a discount.

Put the chips down on the UV, you won't regret it. Absolutely great axes. sooner or later I will get one of the newer 777bk to go with my 'Ick green' UV.
Like someone else recently said here, I also think the mirror PG is a bit too disco for my tastes, but each to their own I guess. A black guard would highlight the white pearloid binding nicely. Lose the middle single-coil, slap in your EMG's, and crunch-a-roni!

Please be kind to snakes. They can't help it.

I vote UV just cause they're some SICK guitars. I love the 777bk, that's the 7 I've had my eyes on for quite a few years, I just never could save up for one, damn impulse buys!!
I personally like the stock pups, FWIW. Never been huge on EMG's...I like them, just not super sure about them, but to each his own. Enjoy whatever you do get!

The middle pickup is my biggest problem, but at least on the UV there is room to sink it down to reduce string pull and get it the f#^% out of the way. There's no easy solution for fixing the stupid inlayon the K7, though. Plus the OP mentioned a new pickguard, etc. So I'd say the middle pickup isn't an issue, nor the pickups, nor the locking studs, neither.

I actually like the weird trem system on the K7, though.

Because I'm pretty positive you heathens have the ability to make your OWN polls. Must we do everything?
