Andre S Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hmm, I can barely manage 6 strings, but it sure looks great! I'm glad they gave it the smaller pickguard and the nice '58 V tailpiece. Classes it up a lot! Now they just need one in Natural, with the same hardware and plastics.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 . Tried a 7 string a few years ago. Ended up selling it. But this one is a looker - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilpanda Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Its great that they didn't have to modify the guitar a lot. Still kind good. but I probably won't get one seeing as I can barely afford a capo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brundaddy Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Any V with 50s body style & V tailpiece looks good! Too bad the main production model is 60's body, 60s neck, and stopbar tailpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 That's way too metal for me but it looks sweet. I'm down for some 7 string action, just not with pointy guitars with EMGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAS44 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I've always been curious about 7 stringers, but I'll stick with 6 strings for now and yes that looks damned nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 That's awesome! I've been looking at seven-stringers with actives, and this one is, frankly, beautiful. However, looking at the price, I can't help but feel that I could get a different seven for less money and probably be just as happy with it... Ibanez makes some good ones. I don't think they do 7-string V's, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dem00n Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Just noticed, the MSRP is kinda low. Must be around $1,200-1,500? Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 you could wait a while and buy one second hand? i would Yeah, but I would probably spend less still on a second-hand Ibanez or Schecter. At the same time, I suppose this model is relatively affordable for Gibson. I don't know--whether it's this one or another model, I'm not quite ready to drop money on another guitar right now, so I have plenty of time to wait for used ones to start showing up.

retrosurfer1959 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 That's pretty cool I like the headstock and the way they added the sixth tuner in the tip really makes you take a second look. I just wish they would not have used Gold hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I really like it, I'd swap for some passives in a heartbeat though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that was the first thing I looked at and I dig the way they put it in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
