Just an update if any of you gear-heads care..
After a meeting with Ibanez, we've made some changes to the 7-string strat. It can't be made the way I wanted it to be.. Ibanez could have done it b/c they can do anything at the LACS, but it wouldn't have been the best instrument it can be with the design I had in mind. So it's now going to be this:
-24-fret maple neck/fingerboard with M.O.P. binding (based off of my silver/orange guitar...that neck is the bomb).
-Standard RG body with custom contours to fit my body and arm and M.O.P. binding
-single/single/hum
DiMarzio pickup configuration
-white perloid pickgaurd
-natural finish on the head
-string-thru body fixed trem
-locking tuners (I think)
-blue
sunburst finish
It should be pretty cool and should be ready in a month or so. I'll have pics up on my site.
