A PRS like 7 string..interested?

Hallo..
What would you 7 string guys have to say about something like this..
A PRS style body,
no dot markers, maybe something at 12th fret..
mahagony body,
ebony fretboard,
2 humbuckers,
24 frets,
definately with trem..something like wilkinson 2 point,
a flame or quilt maple top,
with binding around the fretboard..maybe around headstock and body
And of course, 7 STRINGS!
I think that would be so great to see guitar like this in production..
It would be a beautifull instrument..so stylish and classy..it would have it all..balls and style (and by this,i don't wanna say that there are no nice stylish guitars today..!just..i would like this one very much)

My personal choice would be something like this, but with specs i already mentioned..!

I guess that PRS could built it..but for how much..?Too much for me anyway..and i guess for the majority of the rest of you..
My goal of this thread is to show that there is interest on the market for an instrument like this..!
(i know that i am interested for sure)
..and i am sure that it could be produced for a very nice price..if the right people show interest..!
YOUR OPINION COULD BE VERY IMPORTANT, CAUSE, ALTHOUGH IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE, THERE A R E ACTUALLY GUITAR BRANDS THAT LISTEN TO THEIR CUSTOMERS..
So plese give your judgement on this..
and anyone who is for something like this..SPEAK!

A seven string PRS has been done before. close to what you said. I'll try to find the pic.

Nice quilt top, I love that blue too. The other one is beautiful as well.

They've done a couple of 7 strings in the past. Wes Borland was one, yes.

However, here is a nice link as well:

In a slightly related note to Flo's original link to Rondo Music, I happen to own an Agile brand guitar. It is very well made, and much higher quality than you expect at such a bargain price. Sure, it's not a 10 top and the p/u's ain't boutique, but it's a whole lot better than much, especially the fret feel and the neck shape.

Thanx for the replies..but my actual goal of this thread is to show that there is interest on the market for an instrument like this..!
So, that series production of a guitar like this could be initialized..not for 1000s of bucks..but i am sure at very very good price..!
I am not saying all this for nothing..i know that some people ACTUALLY read these pages...!
Thanx..
And everyone, who think that this would be good idea..SPEAK UP!

Looks like being rich has its perks.

(drools)...

Roland · #12 08-17-2006, 11:25 AM

Bring me a fanned-fret eight-string instead.

Depechex · #13 08-17-2006, 01:35 PM

I had to say...... o3 custom guitars:

GUARDiAN · #14 08-17-2006, 03:10 PM

Now that's one sweet guitar!

pera_a777 · #15 08-17-2006, 03:42 PM

NIce..too bad it has no trem..
But still..i guess that costed very much..since custom always does..
My guess is that if people show great interest in some model, like the guitar i described in the starting post,there are manufacturers who could put it in series production..and price it pretty much affordable..
