LarryUK Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 What's the difference between the 7 and 70 apart from the licence thing? They look the same apart from the patent no on the 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Apart from the obvious. Is there a difference in build? The B7s are sand cast, and the B70s are die cast......I suppose 'purests' prefer the sand cast......Some say there's a difference... " Amplified Parts " seems to be a good place to buy them.......B7s and B70s weigh about the same......... I figure you're thinking about your new Goldtop......I'd put one on it..There's also the " Vibramate " system; no need for drill holes.. IMHO, holes don't hurt guitars, bad geetar playing does......

Bldsnn Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 There is also a difference in size. (according to the blue prints) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 As long as it's not a B3/B30 there is no need for adapters or drilling. The strap button screw fastens everything securely, and string tension always ensures alignment. You can blow your cash if you're dying to have an extra doodad on you guitar, and you can drill holes all willy-nilly if you plan on playing the guitar in the pit at a Slayer show ... but both options are completely unnecessary.
