The Ibanez RG2228GK prestige guitar is equipped with an all-new 8-string version of the EFX bridge which combines fixed bridge sustain with the double-locking stability needed for extreme metal styles. Hot EMG 808 pickups, a very stable neck and the over the top (and bottom) extended range of this guitar allow you to play the heaviest of heavy riffs and solo to new heights!

Feature:
8 strings, do you need more?
Quality:
It’s almost indestructable, mine goes through a lot and still looks new.
Value:
It is a lot of money, but worth it.
Desirability:
If this was taken away from me, i would spend ages searching for it.
Sound:
Amazing sound quality, with other instruments or on it’s own, 8 Strings is awesome.
Ease of Use:
Easy if you know how to use a 7-string guitar, but not one to start off with.
Overall:
Buy It, 8 strings, wooo!
The S series’ sleek, comfortable mahogany bodies, double-locking ZR tremolos and high-gain IBZ INF pickup combos make these guitars stand out among other guitars that have less features and don’t look half as good.

Feature:
Excellent ZR tremelo. Allows you to bend strings without the bridge raising too much.
Desirability:
Very sexy
Sound:
You definitely need to rip the pickups out. I haven’t done this yet as I am trying to work out which pickup combination might work the best. I’ve narrowed it down to 3 choices… -2 EMG 707 Active pickups -a Dimarzio D-Sonic (Petrucci) in bridge and a Dimarzio D-Activator in the neck (an active-sounding passive). -The Evolution (Vai) I love John Petrucci’s sound so I may go with the second option at this stage. Does anyone have any feedback on my choice.
Ease of Use:
Very comfortable… and I’ve never played a 7-string before this one.
The Schecter Omen Extreme 7 String Electric Guitar provides all the tones and features needed for an extreme look and sound. A comfortable, double cutaway body made of mahogany with a quilted top gives good looks and comfort, while the maple neck and rosewood fingerboard give excellent playability.

Schecter doesn’t just build great guitars, they create them. Like works of art, each design is a work of art, individual, but still showing Schecter examples of quality in durability, playability, and of course, sound. The C7 is no exception. With a bolt-on Mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard and Mahogany body loaded with Duncan Design Active HB-105 pickups, anyone will admit that this guitar doesn’t just sound good; it looks good, too.

Quality:
I bought a blemished one with only a small scratch on the back of the body. I am having some string buzz at the bridge, but I think with some adjustments I can work that out.
Value:
For a seven string, this is a great value. Guitar sounds really good.
Desirability:
I love the way it feels and looks. I have an Ibanez six string also. The ESP guitar blows the Ibanez away as far as playability.
Sound:
Guitar sounds pretty good for what I paid for it. I mainly use it for recording onto my computer. Sound is good with distortion or with a clean sound.
Ease of Use:
For a seven string guitar, I was pleasantly surprised how easily playable it is. Even for doing solo work. The neck isn’t so big that it is difficult to play.
Schecter’s BlackJack models are armed with the extremely versatile Seymour Duncan JB (SH-4) and 59 (SH-1n) pickup combination, which can be tapped via a push/pull tone control or a 5-way Mega Switch. Additional features (usually found only on instruments costing twice as much) include a rock maple neck set into an arched mahogany body, Grover tuning machines, and a TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge, which greatly enhances the instruments natural sustain, and ensures rock-solid intonation and sonic clarity.

Feature:
The seventh string really gives much more to play with, you can go through a scale three times and not even slide down the neck
Value:
the guitar is worth the money you pay for it i have a high end les pual so im used to high quilty but i would buy this guitar for 5 or 6 hundred if i didn’t have a better guitar
Sound:
It is got a good natural tone from its body but its electronics just don’t catch all of that tone

Rusty Cooley knows a great metal guitar when he plays one. The Rusty Cooley Signature RC7G is no exception. The guitar not only looks amazing with its custom Xenocide graphic, but plays like a well oiled machine! Dressed with an Alder top and body, maple neck, ebony fingerboard and EMG 707 pickups make this guitar scream with tone while ripping your favorite riffs. Throw in some Grover tuners and a locking 7 string bridge and you’ve got your self an incredible instrument that will hold its tune.

Feature:
I loved the low profile floyd rose, fine tuners really stay out of the way and it stays in tune with all the monsterous wailing I did on it.
Quality:
The quality is great. The finish is flawless and there are no details missed by deans luthiers.
Value:
It’s a little expensive but you get all what you payed for. There’s no problems with it at all.
Desirability:
This thing is a babe magnet for sure. I will definitely be getting the white one of these. I don’t like insanely graphiced out guitars.
Sound:
It’s the best guitar for metal! Period. All access to the 24 frets and amazing playability.
Ease of Use:
It’s extremely easy to use. Even for someone that is just starting to play guitar it comes naturally. My little brother plays six strings and once i got him to play this he didn’t want to leave the store.
Support:
Never worked with them. But sure they’re the best.
