I don't one. I just played a friend's 7 stringer as well as helped him to restring it. I just feel that it's a pain in the ass to restring a floyd equipped 7 string. I would suppose Ibanez has got the most experience in building 7 stringers, so yea, i feel they naturally sound, feel, play better. If you've got a high budget, grab the Ibanez Universe. Beautiful and sweet sounding. The cheaper one, with a hardtail, is the RG7321 which i mentioned earlier. The RG1527 is another but it comes equipped with a floyd rose should you find the need for a tremolo. It's prestige too. Yup. Hope this helps you =)

The origin of the 7 string dated way back in the 1930s for the jazz player to further explore what couldn't be done on a 6 string.
For anyone looking to get a 7 string guitar just for riffing, imho, its a waste of $. Anyway, to each his own. The feel of a 7 string is different from the 6 string, mainly due to the wider neck. Have fun and the pic of the uv77 is above

For any guitars, it will be the best for you to try out in your hand to know what you like or dislike about the guitar. My poison could be your meat.
As for expensive. You be be assured that most thing which are related to guitar/amp/pedal that have anything extra will definitely be more expensive. Taking the brand and place of manufactured into consideration

the Edge trems & the new Edge Pro trems are very reliable in terms of tuning stability & overall performance. these are the ones to invest in should you decide to get a floating whammy unit in a 7string. if this is your first take on the floating units, be informed of the cumbersome string changing procedure.
if you don't whammy, get a fixed bridge unit like the 7321/ AX7.
the K-7 is an acquired taste. the guitar per se is excellent with regards to tone & sustain but the u-bar (the guitar's floating trem), is a question of practicality. it's not entirely a new invention, just a Lo-Pro edge trem with dual whammy bar holes to accomodate the bent bar. so the question is: do you have the need for such a contraption?
the single volume knob is another quirky feature but the world forgives the Ibanez PGM model for being likewise though- double standard? my take on the K-7 is that it's an impressive player but the endorser features contribute significantly to price to make it a real worthy purchase. and that K-7 inlay is a real turn off...

the new Edge Pro/ II units are performance worthy as well. it gives an option to players whether they want to cut off the ball-edge of their strings or keep them in tact. its less angular features ensure that your plam sits comfortably while playing.
