Just as the title says. Schecters are a bit big for me and my pussy hands (and their tendinitis), Ibanez are kind of gay, for the most part (although I might consider a Xiphos 7, if I could find one to play). If Jackson made a 7-string Warrior with two goddamn pickups, that would be awesome, but no such luck. I'm looking in the "several months from now" long-term, at least, and thus this is mostly speculative. Any suggestions?

if you had any way to check out Carvin, I know that almost anything they make is awesome. only thing with them is that you have to order direct from them :\ but hey, good enough for Tony MacAlpine and Shane Gibson and incase you need a reminder of Shane Gibson... www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP10tdu_D8Eand www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIKGzh_t_R8 (even though he's using a schecter in this vid)

and i agree with you about ibanez...not a big fan of the UVs or the S-series sevens - had one and sold it in a month.
I'd also suggest checking out, surprisingly enough, the ESP Stephen Carpenter signature. sure, carpenter is a tool and the middle pickup looks kinda gay, but the other guitar player from my band had it and it was AWESOME. great sound (even from the mid pickup) and the neck wasn't too bad either.

Eh, I've had a few ESP/LTD types. The price markup is ridiculous, so right now I want to either try out a Xiphos (I hear they feel more like Jacksons than Ibanezes, big surprise), or possibly order one of the new 7-string Vs Agile makes (http://www.rondomusic.com/hornetpro7wh.html god damn it's sexy). Apparently the guy who runs the place has a good return policy, so I'd be tempted to get one just to try it out.

yeah the xiphos models look pretty sick too - first time i saw one of those 7s was one the one Dino plays in the Divine Heresy vids on youtube, and i was like "OMGHAX!"
