Bump on this. Also, 28" scale. DEAR GOD. Brings back the 7-string lust in me.

someone on the ESP board mentioned an MSRP os 1199, which seems pretty low considered street on it would be about $850. affordable for what it is.

What the fuck, that's way cheaper than my Ibanez S. I fucking love America and it's silly currency :D

I can only appreciate the aesthetics of guitars (having only rudimentary knowledge of guitar specs), and this one is gorgeous.

Nice.
Although I prefer the Tele tone to the Peavey-endorsement-bass heavy new tone, it is a sick guitar.

I played it at NAMM and it's fucking gorgeous. Neck feels great, and the attack and sustain are killer. I was surprised to see the neck pickup added there.

I also caught Dev's acoustic set for Alvarez. He's as hilarious as he is talented!

Fucking sweet! I like the change to string-thru-body, but the headstock still looks out of place. What's the logo on the fretboard? Some kind of "S"?
