Just an update from this thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=98065
My new axe arrived! I couldn't have been happier with it. Quality for days, and just flat-out fun. The neck is just AMAZING! I liked the neck on the RGD 7-string (returned)...I LOVE the neck on this K7! Thin, flat, and FAST.
Another thing I figured out -- those guys in KoRn can PLAY. I got a few tab books, and I've been sitting around trying to "get around" on these guitars...IT'S HARD!! Their music is very dissonant, and there is SO MUCH going on with the guitar parts. It's hard to separate them, and then once you do, it's really weird to figure out the chord shapes, and all the string skipping. I have a new challenge!
Anyway, the Silver one showed up, and after repairing the "ding" (more like an avulsion) on the lower rear edge, and giving it a quick setup, I was having a ball. I was surfing the net later that night, and decided to see what else was out there on the used market. Not much on eBay that wasn't priced DUMB, but GC had a few used ones listed. Then I ran across the Blue/Purple looking one in Phoenix...called them...beat up on them a little bit, and it showed up on my doorstep today! BONUS! Gave this one a setup tonight, and it's EVEN BETTER playing than the Silver one!
I'm waiting on some strings from my local GC - you can't get the custom set that they come with, and Dean Markely doesn't make the KoRn signature set any more, but you can order custom sets from DR for the same price as a normal set. Can't wait for those to come in...the fret boards will get a good cleaning and conditioning then too.
Anyway...pics!! I'm think Head & Munky would dig it...
