The CT had a flamed maple top and the 2027 is just mahogony (hey I just spelled mahag, mohago, ma, ah fuck it)

The mahhogonny hass a broadder & lowerr tone IMO

Wow, great score, man...you have quite the impressive collection of 7s by now...

Congrats! That is beautiful.

Hey guys, thanks for all the responses.

1) Personally I don't mind the pickup colors, and I've always heard bad things about Evos. I may switch them, put the Blaze neck in the bridge (!) and the Evo in the neck. I love the Blaze Neck in bridge in the S7420FM. Awesome with the Triaxis too.

But yes, there's alwas bobbin toppers. I may try a Blaze Custom in there, as I already have a bunch of Blaze guitars.

2) I have a K7, UV777BK, S7420FM and now a 2027X. Just sold my UV7BK but I still have it for the moment.

3) I'll look into that piezo mod, but for now I won't really be using the peizos much. In my current band we mostly play on lead modes (I love all 3 of the L2 channels on the Triaxis).

4) Do any of you know what these things fetch on ebay or wherever? I didn't buy this to resell (I actually may sell it to my co-guitarist, this is his dream guitar), but it's good to know

I was agonizing over this one, as well. Great price!

I just don't want trems anymore, or I would have nabbed this one the moment I saw it.

I dunno, I think they might be bobbin toppers. When I spoke to Dimarzio about getting an AN7 in a non standard colour (green) they said they wouldn't do custom colours for non-endorsees.

Awesome guitar. Hideous pickup colors.

Since you like the K7 so much, Nick I'm betting you'll like the 2027. For me, the piezo is essential, since my band's music uses alot of acoustic elements. But the basic sound and playability of the guitar is fantastic. I'd love to get another one for a backup, to be honest.

Nice score, you whore you.

zimbloth · 04-05-2006, 12:21 PM

Thanks.

I'll use the Piezos over time, it's just not a huge element right now as I'm busy with metal projects, but I love to play acoustics stuff. I enjoy the piezos on the Parkers.

TheReal7 · 04-05-2006, 12:24 PM

Peizo's + distortion = cool tones

Drew · 04-05-2006, 12:50 PM

$1100 is pretty typical if they're in good shape, I think. So, $920 is a great price.

The Evo7 probably isn't the greatest for metal rhythm, but I really dug it for leads in mahogany, and with your army of Ibanez 7's, I think you can afford a lead-only mahogany axe...

Give it a shot before you switch it, the tonewood warms it up nicely. And, I'm kinda with you, those pickups are hideous, but in a way that grows on you.
