GuitarMaestro Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hi! I am looking for two things for 7-string guitars: 1. A quality Low Profile Floyd Rose Tremolo other than the Ibanez units 2. A quality 7-string TOM I found nothing fitting #1 and not much fitting #2, so if you can recommend something it would be great. Thanks, Marcel Knapp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren wilson Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I've seen pics of a 7-string version of the Original Floyd Rose on ESP's Japanese site, but i have no idea where you can order one. I think that's probably the only high-end alternative to the Ibanez Edge/Edge Pro 7-string units. For the Tune-O-Matic options, try contacting TonePros and see if they can sell you one of the 7-string ones they've done for ESP for the Stephen Carpenter signature models.

canuckguitarist Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Ahem.... Krazyderek (on these forums) sells the OFR 7 string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 1. If your adament about the low profile design for a 7 string floyd the ibanez is going to give you the best quality, but you're definitly going to shell out a hefty sum for it, try Vwall 's site for a quote on those. Brian carries a liscenced version of the low profile 7 strings, although i'm not sure about the long term quality of it. http://www.universaljems.com/cart/bridgelocking.htm last 7 string listed in the grey chart..... regular 230$, on sale for 172.50$ 2. Guitar parts depot has a 7 string tom starting at 23$... can't go wront if you ask me but i've never used or installed one so i don't really know what and where to look for quality parts on a TOM birdge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarMaestro Posted January 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Thanks alot for the hints! Brian carries a liscenced version of the low profile 7 strings, although i'm not sure about the long term quality of it. http://www.universaljems.com/cart/bridgelocking.htm last 7 string listed in the grey chart..... regular 230$, on sale for 172.50$ Are you sure this is a low pro version? It seems to be a usual trem to me judging by the pictures, but it is hard to see it clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 fairly sure, email brian and ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted January 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I asked Brian and unfortunately the unit he sells is a usual Floyd and no Low Profile Unit. Is there a 7-string Low Pro Floyd at all? Maybe from Gotoh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I'm fairly certain that the only lo pro 7 made is an ibanez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted January 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I'm fairly certain that the only lo pro 7 made is an ibanez And that's WAY overpriced unfortunately.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullmuzzler Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 How much for the Edge or Lo-Pro? mullmuzzler | OSSMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Usually $235 I think for the kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 check Ebay....there's some more options there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted February 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Usually $235 I think for the kit Where do you get the unit that cheap? I looked arround a lot and the only vendor selling the Ibanez 7-string Lo Pro was Vwall guitars. He wants $300 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
