My Ibanez is kind of lame in comparison to that:
It plays nice and with upgraded pickups it sounds great, too. Still, I am missing a seventh string that I need to jam out on Dream Theater. Still, a solid guitar but once I get a nice amp I'll save up for something a bit more mind-blowing to fully take advantage of said amp.

Not if i destroy it first?
For everybody who didnt see it in my making music and looking cool thread which will be updated this afternoon.
thenosebleedkid:
Nice elrick.
godinpants:
It's actually a cort, elrick licensed the design to them.
Unfortunately real elricks are right out of my price range.
But, my rick remains my baby.
Also, lummer, i know this is a problem on 5 string basses alot, but that could just be because of the huge guage difference, but is there a problem of floppy b strings on 7's?
On the same sort of topic, has anyone else seen the new joins on the neck through ibanez's?
So sexy.

1) That depends. I don't have that problem with either my RG7321 or the S7420. It's just a matter of having it set up correctly. Also, I use a .60 gauge string for the low b, so that also helps. I know dudes who use .68 or .70 though, also for B.
There are a few seven strings on the market, with a 24,75" scale, where I am quite sure there'll be some floppiness going on, but those guitars have long since gone out of production. Epiphone made a Goth LP and a V as seven strings, and I've heard they rock.
Again, a matter of setup. I have a pretty brutal picking attack, and until I really learned to set up guitars, I was buzzing all over the place on my sixes even, if I used thin-gauge strings.
And 2) I'm not sure I've seen it. I tried their new VBT700 some time ago, and that axe as a whole was teh sex. A LOT of their new 2007 models are teh sex, in fact.
Speaking of teh sex:
I <3 this thing.
