Hi,...
next saturday im goin to buy a new axe!
I would like a K7. But dunno if i should really buy it.
I play Meshuggah and especially Korn

There´s also the RG7620 or the 1077XL.
How´s does the K7 sounds?
Should i buy it?

PS: Im a really big KoRn fan!!

I *think* Rich himself said the K7 plays a little better than the current UV...if that's of any help

I say go for the K-7. I've played one and I think it's the best playing 7 string Ibanez makes.

I own RG7620s, UVs, and a K7. If you are looking for that much darker, lower range tone, the K7 is the way to go. The Mahogany body and Dimarzio PAFs bring out a dark, warm tone without getting too muddy.

Cheers,
Butch

For the record I've never played a K7

I liked the K7 better than the UV, once I got that friggin U Bar yanked out. That thing is so uncomfortable. Otherwise, it's a nice guitar. I just wouldn't be caught dead on stage with that "k7" inlay.

is it difficult to remove the u-bar?

It just pops in and out like the standard trem arm, but has two holes on the bridge to attach to. The K-7 also comes with the standard arm.

i saw one of them, head i think, with a "crown" twelvth fret inlay of his axe, i think they should have gone for something like that instead of that fluo k7 thing...

Yeah, and Munky's paw inlay, and the "Thoughtless" guitar, they have many nice custom guitars, but unfortunatly didn't incorporate any of these ideas into the K7. *shrug*

That paw print!!!

Those white knobs, etc.....

Is the RG7620 good to?? Or does it sound much more different from the K7 !?

btw.. i only have a ****ty Marshall G80RCD .. would it be better to buy an RG7620 and a Line6 POD 2 !?

I would say go for the 1077XL, if ur gonna downtune, that guitar will definately sound alot tighter, and more crisp. And the string tension would b really good.
And I wouldn't get POD 2, I'd get the new POD XT

That's just me tho...

I finally had a really good setup done on my 7421XL and it just keeps getting better. I really can't say enough good things about the XL scale length.
