Single 7s


From the Jackson camp- the new Telly 7-string.


Camp Ibanez has this- Iron Label FR 7-string.

It's interesting to note singlecut offerings from non-Fender models (Fender owns Jackson by the way...), both in 7-string format. Notably, both brand names are also known for their aggression-inclined music association so the singlecut path is an interesting path to tread on.

Coming back to domestic applications, we are more likely to see the Ibanez FR in the stores here. My observation- they sell more than Jacksons (compounded by the fact that the distributor has a poor Jackson inventory/ update).  If I were the distributor, I would have commercial underpinnings to keep sales up there than worry about satiating the few who are clamouring for attention as they don't keep my business afloat.

Iron FR


More Iron Label in the catalog- this time, the FR (seen here: FRFRIX6). I'm still not into Ibanez guitars having EMGs in their system. Also, that kill switch is unnecessary. Nevertheless, the ash cap & ebony fretboard are awesome inclusions.
