Which guitar should I sell?

zimbloth · 04-25-2006, 03:27 AM

Well, I currently have five 7-strings... unfortunately I know at least one of my guitars have to go, I'm having trouble deciding which one. I don't know how to make a poll, so I'll just list it for now (stock unless otherwise noted).

1) Ibanez UV777BK
2) Ibanez S7420FM - Blaze Neck (bridge)
3) Ibanez RG2027X - Blaze (neck), Evo7 (bridge)
4) Ibanez K7
5) EBMM JP7

Basically, the S7420FM is one of the best playing and sounding ones I have, yet also isn't really worth a lot on the open market, so it's not even worth it. The 2027X is amazing and I think it's a keeper. Same with the JP7. That leaves the K7 and UV777BK. Despite the infamous inlay, the K7 easily sounds better and plays just as well as the UV - a unique sound. The UV777 of course plays like an utter dream, looks probably the coolest of all of them, has a great tone... but I find myself playing it the least for whatever reason. Also, I'm leaning towards with the Universe because of its enduring value on the open market. I think I could get more for it than any of my other guitars on eBay (or here...), with the possible exception of the JP7 which I like more (those pickups DiMarzio made for Petrucci are amazing).

I just feel like, perhaps the UV is the odd man out here, which feels wrong to even say. This is like "Sophie's Choice" here

Why do you "have" to get rid of one of them? Me, I'd keep them all.

I vote none. I can't understand gear-whoring, but conversely, I can't really understand getting rid of a perfectly good guitar that you really like, unless you absolutely HAVE to, for money reasons or something. (And even then I'd be very, very, very, very reluctant.)

Oops I didn't realize the poll thing would be seperate from this, sorry.. feel free to delete the duplicate thread or whatever.

Because my bank account is at like, -300. until PayPal releases $700 that I'm owed from a refund. Plus, I don't need 5 high-end 7s.

You have a K7 and a 2027, two great guitars that are the same shape. You also have the S7420 which is unique and the JP7 which is unique.

I'd sell the K7 or UV, since the 2027 has piezo

Yeah, the Universe is so damn sexy though

If the K7 didnt sound so damn amazing and unique, I'd definitely sell that.
