Why is it that this is the only 7-string V I can find? I love the looks and specs, but man is that expensive. I would love to find a V with the specs of an ESP LTD 400 series or so.

epiphone has a 58 reissue style 7 string flying v. or HAD at least. I have the 6 string version. I see them on ebay occasionally.
with some proper pickups they're pretty nice instruments

I think the natural finished V's are korina and the black ones are mohogany. I can't imagine as much as that stuff costs that anyone would be painting over it.
people list them as korina because the original flying V was and the natural-finished reissue looks like it.
As far as how does korina sound? I dont know, ha ha. I imagine pretty tight the originals are going for 50 grand or so.
Mine sounds like a slightly brighter version of my Gibby les paul. It sounds good, records good. I'm just not in love with the stock pickups, but I've yet to find a stock guitar that I was

Rico Jr. builds the most badass 7 string V (flying V period, actually), IMO, and at good prices for a totally custom axes.
KxK is also a good, cheaper alternative.

I've played a KXK 7 string V, it's very nice. I don't like the recessed bridge, but that's just me. For the price (< 2000) they're outstanding. They're handmade, have real duncans or EMGs, and the finish work is outstanding. They take about 6 months to build.
I have 3 custom shop Jackson 7 strings (1 V, 1 Star, 1 DeathWarrior), and they are damn near perfect. They'll set you back at least $3k and you'll wait over a year to get them.
Right now, there is no company that is making a 7 string V as a production model. KXK, Jackson, BC Rich, BC Jr. all make them, but they are custom order.

Hey, nice finish! I don't think i've seen many Jacksons with that colour, looks cool. Love that headstock too. The pointy Jackson does get a bit old after a while, but that's a nice spin on it.

Thanks. The colour is called Rootbeer - it is only available on the Phil Collen signature model and custom shops. The headstock was my modification of their SLS headstock - I used it on one of my other custom shops, and the other guitarist in my old band used it on his custom shop as well.
For that price, its worth it. That is the most badass guitar I've seen. Too bad I'm primarily a bassist, I just can't justify that much money to myself... yet.

Try a quote from Ran Guitars - custom made - ships worldwide, I dunno what your budget is but I talked to them once and they specced a custom for me at about 1250 euros

I don't know when you requested that quote, but their prices have increased a great deal recently.
Not for me!
I got a quote for $1400 I think. You guys should check out www.ikebe-gakki.com, it's the Japanese guitar megastore and they do imports; Jackson is called Jackson Stars over in Japan, and theres a 7 string KV and Kelly me thinks.Similar threads
