Identify Guitar From Serial

[scotte_za]

I've found an advert for a 7string guitar, the only info on the ad was that it is a 'black 7 string Ibanez'. I mailed the person, they told me the serial number is F0032146. Can anyone identify this guitar for me from the serial?

Thanks
Scott

Edit: they sent me some pictures, here they are:

Awesome, thanks What trem would that be then? And is it a decent one? I read that the trems on 7420's are awful, I'd just like to make sure before I buy the thing It costs the equivalent of $250 btw.

It's the 7 string version of LO TRS. I don't like it. But if you're not gonna use it, just block it and it's fine.
If you are gonna use it, the gotoh trem is about $190 and from what I've read it's a direct swap.

Have you used the Gotoh? If so, is it any good? I'd liketo turn this into a project guitar, completely customize it (paint, pickups, bridge, machine heads, nut, possiblybuild a sustainer pickup )

Unfortunately no. I swapped the LoTrs of my 6 string with an Edge and had to route. All I say for the Gotoh comes from reading this forum. I hope that somebody that has used it replies in this thread! I also think that the OFR is a direct swap too, but please somebody verify this!

The price is right for a guitar project! It should be interesting to see a custom 7 string sustainer pickup. Please keep us posted!

Didn't fernandes already make a 7-string sustainer?

[Aris_T]

Which are discontinued afaik. Sustainiac has a 7 string model though http://www.sustainiac.com/st-pro.htm#7-STR

I just mailed the people who make the Sustaniac, hopefully I'll get a reply soon If I get the guitar it's gonna be one colourful mofo! Inspired by a design I saw on Jemsite for a custom painted Jem (can't remember what the thread title was, so I can't link to it), and also by the decorations I see at trance parties
