how many of you guys have them? just asking as i have jsut got to see one in person so to speak. have to say didnt like what i saw. the reason for this is it was all shiny with one fingerprint on but looking at it you could see scratchs in the atual finish , you could only see them at a certain angle though.

dont want to say that they are all bad ar anything but this would have put me off for sure, yes i know about the cracks and stuff and that ibanez wont guarentee them , thats ok i guess but i just was wondering how many people have bought them . the shop i got my j custom at said they wont stock them because of the warantee issue.

im sure they sound cool as i love the breeds and basswood sound, does the top (plastic or what it is) make a vast differance in sound to to say the dbk?

I dont think the top matters much. If it was that bad, people wouldnt buy it and Ibanez wouldnt produce it. I dont have one, but Ive played it many times, and I was about to buy it a few months back. But decided on a FP. Its a great guitar but I think its a bit overpriced.

For me its the least faithfully reproduced of Vai's jems. Where's the leds in the fretboard, or at least a vine?

AU$5,500 - no thanks.

I have had mine for about 10 months now and love it. I have not had any problems with scratching or cracking. I love the sound of it more than any of my other jems and it is my #1 guitar right now.

I have a 7VWH, and I played the bad horsie in a Sam Ash one time and I really hated the feel of it. It just felt like an rg.

.

Mine WILL have a vine. I'll let you know what I think when I receive and play it, but I have played one and I really liked the neck.

A vine wouldn't look good on it. Pyramids, on the other hand...

Maybe you'll think differently when I post pics of mine

I saw one in guitar store but I didn't play it for some reason?

Oh yeah the reason was that there was Carvin California Carved Top which had all my attention.

Good choice, the FP is nice and I would choose that over a BRMR anyday.

I've seen one with a chrome vine before and it looked sweet as hell.

It's pretty the same as 7DBK (i noticed only differences in neck), but at all it's very fast, light and great sounding guitar- but if I were you i'd buy 7DBK as it is cheaper simply- sound is almost the same.

The biggest disadvantage of Bad Horsie is it's finish

yes- it will go fingerprinted on all the body - if you playing it of course (my friend is doing it only for 1 month) and it looks really bad. It's very hard to clean, not to mention pickguard- IT LOOKS COOL, BUT ONLY AFTER OPENING BRAND NEW CASE !!
