Hi,..
I want to buy a 7-String Guitar..
But i dunno wich will be the right one for me.
I want heavy sounds like from Meshuggah and Hypocrisy.
Mkay theres the RG7620 wich is my favourit at the moment (950$ new) . Frederik from Meshuggah played it with other pickups but i dont know wich. In a vid i saw that he had only one pickup at the bridge

Then the RG1077XL (1300$ new) . I heard many good things of it.
And at last UV777PBK (1800$ new) . Its a lil bit to expensive and i dunno or it is an good Metal guitar

Maybe you can help me choosing

I'd say pick up a used 7620 and mod it the way you want it.

Put a EMG707 in the bridge, have a custom pickguard made and have at it! ;-)

If your gonna buy a new guitar anyway, and you want to tune down like meshuggah do, I'd say go for the 1077XL, cause the xl neck sounds alot better than a normal neck when you downtune. Keeps the strings nice and crisp, also I have never ever heard anything bad about that guitar...it looks awesome!

If you don't need a clean tone that much you should probably go with two EMGs, wiring passives and actives together is apparently a real pain...

Btw. someone have pics of an RG7620 with EMG707s ?

Not a 7620 but an RG7 with EMGs (all i could find at the time): http://www.jemsite.com/jcustom/jpn_j...lacsd/rg7csd1/

Man I love that thing...

And I'd personally go for a 7421XL with EMGs if you don't need the trem (since the XL neck will sound better), but if you want the trem, go for the 7620 with EMGs.
