Very nice!
Played my 1st 7 string a year or so ago. I thought it would be 'difficult' but after about 15 minutes it was like I had used one for years. Love ESP's....you got a great score there.

Nice man. I also bought one from Brad. I was also eh about the EMGs but they sound pretty good yeah? How do you like the finished neck?

 

[killertone]

Only reason I want to sell my NT-7 is because of the EMGs.

If the EMGs are that big of a deal, look into something like these:

I am aware of those and of the EMG aftermarket covers you can get as well. Problem is, they are fairly thick and they do not allow the pickup to be set at the correct height from what I have heard from many who have tried it. My BKPs like to be fairly close to the strings so...

All that being said I should try it, they're only $2 each after all.

EDIT: Here is the correct cover for 7 string guitar pickups. The old link was for 8 string pickups.

Thanks for that mojotone link! I'm going to check those out.
I heard you have to really bend the mounting tabs and maybe even cut them to make the passives fit in the 707 cavity, anyone done this?

No prob.

There is a long thread about it on ss.org. It has some good info in it from people that have done it.

Yo Reza!!

I can't believe I missed this thread - thanks for the PM!! GORGEOUS guitar... I've got 2 ESPs currently and B-Rad and I have already exchanged words about getting hooked up with a new one. I like fixed bridge axes, just my preference, and I know ESP make killer, killer guitars. I've ben seeing this axe for the last 2 years on the net and have constantly been pining away for one. Can't wait to get my hands on one especially now knowing it passes the Reza Test

Their workmanship is incredible - that's all I can say about ESP. Great players, awesome level of finish, and true to the bone.

We don't need no stinking tremolos Mang.

I wonder if Eddie was looking at his frankenstrat asking himself and other metrosexual men...." Does this look correct?"

Definitely FAP material that axe... I love the look of 'er.

I wish I would get on better with FR systems, I just can't dig 'em for bends and palm-mute playing... Too much flex in the field for my liking. But ya, that NT is da bomb. So slick. We'll be chatting Brad... Just need to settle down for a bit before I start in on the Q2 purchases of 2012
