Re: Everything you know about 7 strings is...


You didnt put an option of "No i dont like this guitar"

Its terrible and it has nothing to do with who made it, his attitude, the fact it has no floyd or swirl paint or the fact there arent loads of celebrity guitarists endorsing it

Then again thats just my opinion.

It DOES look like a copy of the old Kubicki bass, but that doesn't affect my opinion. I just think it's kind of ho-hum, and not particularly remarkable one way or another.

I don't like the appearance of the guitar - and stop posting junk from him. He had a valid point with the strings, but both you and him are getting very annoying now.

Re: Everything you know about 7 strings is...


+1 for "I dont like this guitar"

also acceptible would have been

"I dont like it and its not worth the $2000 Zachary ego charge"

"I think his work is generally sub-standard and his designs are ugly"

"The man has no morals and may well be the latest incarnation of satan himself"

"Zachary guitars make Ed Roman specials look like masterpieces"

"Everything I know about seven string guitars is correct... please please please stop with the Zachary stuff ... if I want to be robbed of my hard earned cash I can think of plenty more fun ways of doing it"

Re: Everything you know about 7 strings is...


You HAVE kind of drunk the Zachary cool-aid, dude...

I actually have always liked his Z2 (that's a Z2, right?) body style... but the headstock is hideous (and can't compare to my masculinity ), and I've already got one nice fixed bridge seven, so anything without at least a vintage-style trem (I've seen him use wilkinsons on his 6's) really isn't going to hold my attention.

Didn't vote in the poll - the "Interesting, but not for me and I probably wouldn't pay what he's asking anyway" option seems to have gotten left out.

Re: Everything you know about 7 strings is...


I happen to own two Zachary guitars, as well as several Ibanez. I know how good these are first hand. Also they are of a different design and philosophy and that is worth discussing. This is his first 7 string and if you read the site there are some things he has done a little differently. I wish I could get my hands on it, I would pay his price without question. I do understand though, the first one for me was a kind of leap of faith, only after talking to him for a few weeks.

Re: Everything you know about 7 strings is...


Save your money, he'll get tired of pimping Zachary one day.

I'd be surprised if this is his first sven - I've seen 8's on his page, and I could have sworn he'd done a seven before. Either way, I'd be curious to give it a run, but I doubt I'd want to buy it - it's just not spec'd for me, and that has nothing to do with neon swirls or monkey grips or anything.
