Search for 7-strings

Shred: no one said it's junky urban legend, i just said it doesn't affect it that greatly to affect the choice of number of frets. Strictly personal opinion and not fact. Where fact is concerned, it is true that the harmonic centre of the string changes with the length of the string that is vibrating from fret to saddle.

Sure. Let the "harmonic centre of the string" change. You are correct.

Fact is also = pup placed on/below/above 24th fret harmonic node = difference in tone. Thru-out the scale no matter where you play.
 
"gjkung: Yea, or at least not available locally haha. So pretty much if I want piezo in a 7-string, then I'll be looking at the discontinued RG2027X (which judging from the 2nd hand market, it's really rare and I've to prepare to fork up to 2.5K just in case?), or the EBMM JP7/EBMM JP7 BFR. "

heh heh heh, I just sold mine ( RG2027xvv ) for $1800SGD w/o ohsc not too long ago. now I'm left with a RG7620. I might just sell it since its like chuck in the store for so long.

imho, even in 5 years to come, it shouldnt be worth 2.5k SGD. yes I understand that its super hard to find but I dont see a reason why you should pay so much more. the highest 2nd hand price in the USA is like 1.2k USD, there are people who manage to snag this guitar for like 900 - 1.2k USD in the USA so yeah, thats why I say $2.5k SGD is totally not worth it.

one thing to note about the RG2027xvv is that the neck profile is rounder as compared to RG7620 and RG1527. on jemsite they are all using the same neck but I highly doubt so. maybe its something to do with not having a bubinga stripe? thats just my guess.

if you are a really nut for 7 string piezo equipped Ibanez, find an RG7CST. thats like the top of the line and even harder to find. the RG2027xvv is the only next best option for Ibanez.

oh if you've got like $3k+ to spare, go the EBMM route :twisted: .
 
Hmmm I see..... Well, time to start saving up anyway. =)

Speaking about EBMM JP7... any idea how much would a 2nd hand one regularly go for? (I doubt anyone in Sg has the BFR yet, so ya, I'm talking about the regular ones)
 
I saw one going for 2.5k (neg) a few months ago...

I seriously doubt that BFR owners will want to sell theirs...
