Broken K-7?
Looking for used Ibanez 7string with tremolo, I've been offered to buy a broken K-7.Technikaly as I know it's a good guitar with mahogany body, lo-
pro edge trem
and DiMarzio PAF7. It costs about $270 + $100 for broken neck repair. Is it worth the money? And what about K-7 neck profile? Is it thiner or thicker than
wizard prestige
? Maybe someone have tried this guitar?

Re: Broken K-7?
For that price, i'd jump on it. How badly is the neck broken? You could always send the neck back to Ibanez and pay get a replacement, and you'd still have a pretty inexpensive K7. Or get a custom aftermarket neck made without an inlay.

Re: Broken K-7?
The trem alone is worth the money. Get RG 7620 neck of the e-bay and you're in business.

Re: Broken K-7?
$270??? i say its a bargain even if you didnt get the broken neck... Even better you could probably get a nice 7620 neck for it and have a nice guitar
without
the nasty inlay

Re: Broken K-7?
Well, I guess most people have a different opinion about thid, but Id take the K7 neck over a 7620 neck. I prefer the K7 inlay to plain dots, so if the neck can be properly fixed I would go that way.
Anyway, for that kind of money, I would ve alredy bought it.... with or without the neck. You can get a custom neck beyond your dreams (you ll have to pay accordingly for it), and end up with a superb guitar.

Re: Broken K-7?
Like throwing gas on a fire at this point, but definitely buy the guitar and neck!

Re: Broken K-7?
Even though almost anything can be repaired in a guitar, In this case I would just save the freatboard if you like the inlay (something that can be done) and make a custom neck; or if dont care for the inlay just buy a whole custom neck.

Re: Broken K-7?
Well if noone ****ed around with it, it may be possible to fix, as expensive as a tube of glue...
