But does anyone know if Dean is planning on releasing any good non strat shaped non signature 7 string? like a Mlf 7 set neck or a V floyded 7 or a Z 7 or something? anything?

You can probably custom order it.. We didn't see anything at NAMM so don't count on it.

The razors arent bad. but i feel almost insulted that dean assumes thats all we need as 7 stringers. we get strat shapes from everyone, then they throw the pointiest guitar in there fleet at us. we deserve a touch of class in our world too

true but i dont know of many "classy" players that use a 7 string. Its for brutal metal, nothing nore. Whats more brutal than a pointy 7 string?

How bout a classy 10 string.

That other guitar is actually a USA made right here in Cleveland. Bolt on but plays real nice.

NON SENSE!!! 7 strings, much like metal itself, are getting stereo typed as one thing. i play old school thrash, but having that low b helps round out our tone. mostly because we are a three piece we just get a better texture. i like some round pointys. i dont wanna leave dean, i love it here. but we need some option bad. not to say that this little rant will change anything, and lets be honest, i wont ever leave dean. but for reals, lets get some sweet sevens from this joint

They're used quite a bit for jazz.

If it will sell, they will build it. If they don't think it'll sell or if they build it and it doesn't, they won't.

Remember the while ML? Everyone on here loved it and then they sold something like twelve in a year. There's a big difference between what's clamored for by the Forum and what's bought by the general public.

Or, for that matter, what people on this Forum will buy when it actually involves plunking down cash, check or credit card to turn talk into reality. That's not pointed at D.S., for the record. There's a whole lot of "I'd be on that in a heartbeat!" and then vapor when it's time to cut the deal.

Agile has a King V 7 string, as well as an Explorer-esque 7 string.

Also, a telecaster shape.

Plus more strat shapes than you can shake a low b at.

I would love to see an ML or v 7 string with a floyd. I'm kinda done with strat shapes. The razorback is a bit on the cheese side to me. An ML I would buy, A V, I would buy. A stealth, I would buy. but the razor just looks pointy in the wrong places.

Or those fluorescent ML's at Guitar Center? They wouldn't push them if they weren't selling a ton of them. There is no accounting for taste. Gaaaahhhh.

I have one of the Agile king V 7s. the hornet pro. Its an animal. and the explorer shape got discoed, that why i went with the Gibson 7 instead. and i know it sucks when we start limited runs or everyone on here bitches and moans about a certain product not being available then when it is they turn there backs and whistle till it goes away. the floyded stealth run is a good example. it got made and no one was happy about it. But for real, With the 7 becoming more and more popular every day, dean needs to jump on it and see what happens. Gibson of all people put out the Explorer 7. i never thought hell would freeze over but low and behold it did. if the most riskless traditional company thinks its gonna work, some of the more adventurous ones should do it as well.

If this is what you are referring to it is a company called Strictly 7. Based in Cleveland, Ohio. The guy playing it is one of the owners of the company.
