Not only for that Trivium guy-no it's for "everybody"

EMG equipped 7 String Explorer-seems like Gibson wants more
metal guys to use em, Floyd Roses, Kahler Trems, EMGs, 7 strings and so on.

In my opinion it doesn't look very good, but I like the idea and that they didn't mess up
the guitar to much, no shitty tribal paintings or stuff like that.

Eh, I like it to be honest.

Again, I like it, Gibsons really don't need to be that fancy I think and they've definitely been trying too hard with some of their designs recently.

Be interesting to hear what the scale length on this one is though.

 

[Harry Hughes]

If it's 24.75 inches, I wouldn't touch it with a 50 foot pole. It would interest the high A string crowd, but fuck having a low B string on 24.75 inches, ugh.

^ agreed, although I think its cool as well

I don't wanna offend anyone who owns a Gibson explorer....

but seriously now,thats far more expensive than it should be.
Even in the 6 string model. Quality<Price

ESP built something similar for Behemoth:

I am digging that one more than the Gibson one.

Pretty cool. I'm a strat guy but always good to see more 7s on the market.
