recommendations for 7 string

[blackknight93]

hey, im 17 years old and into a large spectrum of music genres. i enjoy playing everything from jazz to metal, progressive, to alternative to a little little bit of latin... i play piano, guitar, nd a little drums. the thing is, i'm trying to save up for a seven string guitar. i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a seven string guitar around 1000$. in particular i was looking at the Ibanez S7320, any comments???

Thanks,
Dan

For around $ 1000,- get an old green dot Ibanez Universe.

Amazing guitars and bang for your buck.

Those axes show up on evilbay once in a while (one is actually there right now for 950$).
I suggest you bid right away! Second choice would be UV777BK, depending on condition you can get those for cool 800 - 1200USD. Some like RG's better... not me.

An old 7620.

[scotte_za]

I agree, get a second hand 1527 and upgrade the pickups

[Hunter Wingate]

I'd have to say RG7620, they've actually been compared to the UV.
I got mine for only $500, and it works perfectly. All I had to do was replace the stock Blaze bridge pickup (which had gone microphonic), so I got an Evo7.

1527 or 2027.

the one you're looking at seems cool. how many frets do you want?

for me, i can't have any less than 24 (just a picky personal preference thing). if you don't mind 22 frets i'd say the S7320 would be a solid choice.

some other good ones are:

Ibanez K7
Ibanez RG7x2x(xl)
Ibanez 1527(M)
Ibanez Apex2
Schecter Loomis
ESP M-307
and I hear great things about the Agile Interceptor Pro and that comes with either a 25.5" or 27" scale

I'd get the maple boarded 1527. They may not be around forever, and that rarity could conceivably help you at resale time. Plus, it's a 1527, so it's an outstanding 7.

A seven string for around $1000? I'd go for the 1527, myself. It's great.
