Korn 7-string - Page 3

Thats right, I keep thinking my '97 7620 is new cause I have only had it for two months.

Maybe I should rest I have been up for the last 24 hours. But I'm not tired.

Rich you are SO right about the hero worship. *I really do not need another electric guitar but I am going to buy an EBMMJPM anyway just because I like JP. *Add me to the list baby!!!

By the way, can I get on your list now?

Rich · #33 01-03-2001, 12:25 AM

The EBMMJPM is the ONLY other model I'll ever deal in that isn't an Ibanez, and ONLY because I have such a strong contingent of JPM buyers. But it might be a little tacky posting them on IbanezRules so I might just setup a separate website for them. Still deciding

p.s. I quit using the lists when I put the website online. I always considered it spam, so it's basically retired axcept for 'emergency' use

K7 update - has a mahogany body and 5-piece maple neck w/ bubinga stripe. Ubar to palm the bridge sharp - the u-bar is by the fine tuners. Final production pieces forthcoming. Price not 100% firm but it is steep from the numbers I'm hearing, relative what i'd expect a "Korn model" to sell for... glen

I liked everything you said except for the last sentance.

Do you have any sort of a guess about what the price will be?

Here is my opinion, I can't stand Korn, that doesn't really matter though, it's just my opinion. *But if the new K-7 was close to the same as the original UV (where Korn 7's started out) I would probably buy one. *I have a couple of RG 7's that I bought as working guitars but I don't really like the necks that much. *Even my 2000 UV777BK is not as nice as the old UV's IMHO. *If the K-7 had original Blaze II pickups or Blaze pickups, in H S H config. *and the original UV neck (thinner profile and smaller frets) and didn't cost a bazillion $$$$ like so many other signature guitars, I would buy one. *Here's why,
1) if it plays and sounds good, it's worth it.
2) Paint and inlays aren't that hard or expensive to change if you really don't like them.

Some things just confirmed, List price is $1799 and will be available in VG - something gray and FB something blue, Dimarzio's but not sure which, the K-7 inlay at the 12th and the U Bar trem.

**jemsite** · #39 01-03-2001, 07:11 PM

PUs and colors listed on the frontpage. Dimarzio PAF7s... glen

tThat should teach me to open IE every now and then and check the home page

Getthis · #41 01-03-2001, 10:35 PM

might FB stand for flame-blue?

Rich, maybe you can change the name of your site to "John Petrucci Rules"?

Uh oh, that's scary!!! *I shudder when I think about the stuff he might put up there...

This is all very exciting.....

While I'm not a fan of Korn, I have been contemplating adding a 7 string to my collection. With all the RG7620 players out there that will want to upgrade to a K-7, I see the market for used 7620s becoming flooded.

Yippeee for me.....:biggrin:
