I am in the lounge and I have no say anyway. *whispers The explorer with a reverse headstock, 24 frets, with a floyd (which they cannot handle) ok so a Kahler 7. That would be an interesting guitar.

solacematt Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Chad from Nickelback has been using it lately. PRS (whom he has an endorsement with) custom built him one as well.

DamienAzrael Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I use 7 strings a lot... This one however... No thanks.... I'll stick with my Ibanez 7 strings... The only thing that would make this guitar worth it for me would be a Kahler trem, Floyd Rose style nut, and a set of Blackouts... The thought of the Nickelback guy using this guitar makes me sick.

Yeah... My biggest issue with most 7 strings is the neck... I've always felt Ibanez was the only company to get that right... Hopefully Gibson did that right.... The EMG's ruin this guitar for me.

iSoto Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Isnt is like a 4 grand guitar though? They are expensive. They used to have so many cool LPs, SGs, Explorers & Vs in the 80s. All Kahler equipped and with a string lock. I find one or two on eBay from time to time, but the sellers never ship them outside the USA, and when I find one that does, I'm all out of money. Although this Explorer has EMGs (have nothing against EMGs, they just don't make wanna even try them), I think it's a step forward for Gibson. I seriously think that this guitar makes up for the Holy V and Explorer (and maybe even for the lousy Zoot Suit SG video). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max2343 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I would kill it. Where is the WIGGLY????? Stick a Kahler 7 on that and MAYBE I would be interested. I Agree a Kahler and a Locking nut would be nice for Sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max2343 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 What's the Deal? EMG's Kick-*** They Got their Place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamienAzrael Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Personally I just think you get a better tone out of passive pickups. EMG's always sounded fake to me because they didn't have the organic tones I'd get from passive pickups. But that's just me. I think the Seymour Duncan Blackouts are better.

7slinger Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 What's the Deal? EMG's Kick-*** They Got their Place The problem with EMGs in 7 string guitars is that the pickups are very over sized. So if you put passives in there will be big gaps on all sides. While this is a cosmetic thing, would you Really want those gaps on a $2000 guitar? Not to mention for that price, why couldn't they put some Gibson pickups in there? The other problem with this guitar and my biggest complaint: 24 34" scale on a 7 string?!?! A 7 string needs at least a 25.5" scale. Yeah there are plenty of guys that tune Gibbos down that low, but if you're buying a 7 String, why would you want a guitar that is going to feel like you just tuned it down extremely low? Wouldn't you prefer it to feel like the lowest string is Supposed to be there and not like they just slapped an extra string on a model with identical specs? It Should also have a Kahler for a OFR, 25.5" scale, Gibson pickups, and some other color than black for $2000. I predict that this is not going to sell at all because most 7 String players don't like the specs, Gibson will then say there is no demand in the 7 string market, and never make 7 strings again.

MojoRedFoot Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 As long as all the guitars that are actually produced move to store or some form of retailer, Gibson is done. They've made their money. I'd have to tryit before I'd buy it. I have an MIJ Ibanez 7 string and they are the only company to get the neck to feel right. I don't like the Schetcers, LTDs and Jacksons. But if it felt good, and was reasonably priced, I'd buy it. I just wish Gibson would make a no PG model.
