Has anyone seen the latest Vox Valvetronix ad?

[Drew]

I was flipping through the latest Guitar Player (the one with Beck on the cover with a white strat) last night, and on the back of like the 2nd page, there's a new ad for the Vox Valvetronix. It's got small pictures of a bunch of different Valvetronix users.

One of them, Mike someone-or-other, is holding a 7-string Washburn. Thing is, it looks EXACTLY like a 7620 with a slightly modified headstock and a Washburn logo stamped on the front. Anyone else seen this yet? It's too small to confirm if it's an Edge bridge or not (the fact it's a black and white shot of a dark guitar with black hardware doesn't help), but the control layout's right, and the neck looks very Ibanez-esq...

can you scan it or so?

Most of washburn's cheaper 'shred' guitars look like RGs, same body as a Cort 7 string from a few years ago.

Looking at their product literature, it's basically like a rg7420, hardware wise. TRS trem, gotoh-copy tuners. We have a couple lowest of the low line models in the shop, look like an RG170 with a metal-plate wanna-be AANJ. Put an Ibanez headstock on it, and from the front you couldn't hardly tell the difference. The treble horn is just a hair thicker, but you'd have to side-by-side to see it.

I've got a scanner, but no way to host.

That could be it- I've never played a Washburn 7, so I wouldn';t know what to expect.
