[prognosis77]

sorry to bother you with this, I was just wondering what does that symbol stand for on the 12th fret, it looks awesome and i just purchsed one of these. If anyone know please let me know, I am interested in stuff like that

[shredivo]

i think rusty said it was a solar moon eclipse or something like that but that was part of the outworld logo his former band i know that much, if it helped any :/

[TechcoreIsSexy]

hey man i need your help do you think this amp is good for metal tones like symphony x,death metal,shred and all that stuff?

[Epicnessss]

Not really a review.....but hey nice playing!

[momay69]

Does it have jumbo frets? It doesnt say anything on the website, And where did you buy that steve vai sticker? I like it.

[classicadelmantro]

[restedante]

salut! tu peux me dire combien elle t'a couté et où l'acheter

[hunter111mmm]

so basicly the only difference to the signiture one ( xenocide graphics) is its american made and the graphics...

1500 more than the 1000 RC7x ..

right ?

the fret size is the same ? dunlop 6000s?

[kakashihatake1321]

yeah same fret size but they use a lot better wood for neck and body

[kevino1o]

hey man i love this guitar with a passion!!! can u plz help a out a fellow musician? i really wanna know how much did this guitar cost u just the guitar not the added customized design

[jefonyx]

Around 900$ :)

[LucasGonzalezTube]

@jefonyx How tall are the frets? Are they like the ones in your Ibanez?

[jefonyx]

@LucasGonzalezTube

Well the frets seems to be medium ones on this guitar. The Ibanez ones were bigger

[jonrg77]

@jefonyx Take that stuiped vai sticker off! i mean would you buy a lamboghini and stick a ford badge on it?

NO SO TAKE IT OFF!

[jefonyx]

@jonrg77

I do what I want :)

[guenwhar]

whats with the vai logo?

[jefonyx]

It's a sticker :)

[VypyrVai]

@jefonyx That Vai logo actually suits the white guitar well :) I'm hoping to get this guitar next week!

[brad56781]

hey cool video! awesome playing was just wandering if that guitar has the tall frets too? cause i was interested in buying this one

[Nasosdag]

Is the body of the Rusty Cooley model smaller than an Ibanez 7-string? They look like 6 strings.

[elementskater94]

hey how do the frets on this one compare to your ibanez rg's frets???

[6plusone7]

I just picked one up this past Sat. I ordered white and got black. The neck is thin, but not as thin as Rusty exclaims. I do not see any ebony fretboard either. Just dark rosewood. I guess for the money it is okay. But nothing I expected, but it is cool.

[jefonyx]

The fingerboard is made with Macassar Ebony I read.

So it's Ebony :)

[6plusone7]

Let me rephrase that. Mine doesn't look like ebony. Which would be a black fretboard. Mine is brown, not black. The guitar center I ordered it from even said it wasn't an ebony fretboard. They were like "The ebony is only on the USA model" I was like "No, read right her fellas". I heard a few crickets chirping with no response. So they gave me a hundred bucks back.

[jefonyx]

ok, so let me rephrase it too :)

The Macassar Ebony is a dark brown wood that looks like a dark rosewood. The official specs says that the RC7x have an ebony fretboard, so, there is no reason for yours to be a rosewood.

[6plusone7]

Besides the fretboard, what is your take on the guitar overall. I have 8 seven strings, I think it is okay. The neck is just like the Ibanez S series to me. What do you think?

[6plusone7]

By the way good riffing, who is that your jamming to?

[jefonyx]

Thanks, the neck is a bit thinner than the Ibanez I tested (UV777). The Ibanez one seems to be a flap shape whereas the RC7x is a D shape.

[vgpa09]

@jefonyx would u say this is the best 7??? better than ibanez , shecter and all ??

[jefonyx]

I think it's one of the best you can get for less than 1000$ !

[kakashihatake1321]

theres a review of this in a guitar mag and they compare it with a schecter and a prestige ibanez and they said this is the best one out of the group

[A7Xforlife99]

@kakashihatake1321 yeah and a LTD viper 417 it was in total guitar XD

[Sarinv2]

hows the neck?? thin and flat??

[jefonyx]

THe neck is extra thin and D shaped. 18,5 mm at first fret and 20,5 at 12th fret

[Mangledcorpse]

what about the price man?

[jefonyx]

999 $, it's a good price !

[Mangledcorpse]

Yeah! but I'm penniless for now lol, Thanx for replyin :)

[restedante]

what's the difference between the RC7X and the RC7G?

[jefonyx]

The RC7G is the US Custom shop model and the RC7x is the Korean version

[musicaddict333]

just curious as to wether or not i should get this or the steve vai ibanez Jem 7 string instead? Just for both and quality purposes really

[09AngelofDeth]

Hows that guitar man, Ive been thinking of getting that same guitar, you recomend it?

[jefonyx]

I highly recommend it if you have $900 because it worth it !

[SynergieMusic]

salut a toi ! Comment a tu fais pour le logo Vai sur ta gratte? merci

[jefonyx]

Salut, c'est un autocollant que j'ai acheté sur la Bay.

[jagmetalxxx]

fake guitar. korea make fake guitars my mate has a fake steve vai gem

[burytheblade]

dude why's the vai logo on a Rusty cooly guitar?...

[jefonyx]

Because it's pretty cool :)

[spibby]

just wondering, why do you have steve vai's symbol on a rusty cooley guitar? lol

[Jagan7321]

bien la signature! ravi de voir tu viens rejoindre la confrérie des 7 cordes =D ça en est ou tes projets musicaux alors? nouveau groupe

[nizamskok]

Awesome, this is your own material? And the rcx7 has an original floyd and ebony fretboard?

[jefonyx]

Yes to all !

[spibby]

actually it is a licensed under schaller (pretty much an OFR) because the originals don't come with low pro fine tuners.

[jefonyx]

It's not a low profile, it's an Original Floyd Rose 7

[spibby]

here's a quote right from someone who takes lessons from Rusty himself,

"The guitar has an Alder top/body, a maple neck, an ebony fingerboard, Grover tuners, black hardware, and a liscensed Floyd Rose bridge (I take lessons from Rusty and he said the guitar had the liscensed bridge because the normal Floyd Rose doesn't have low profile fine tuners and so is harder to play). "

[jefonyx]

There are two Rusty cooley signature models, the one made in USA at Dean's custom shop got a Licensed Low Profile Floyd Rose (Takeuchi), and another one which is a Korean made (mine) which has an Original Floyd Rose. We are not talking about the same guitars :)

[spibby]

my bad than, i dont really know the difference between the two (dimension-wise). Can you still get low action with the OFR?

[jefonyx]

Sure you can get low action on both. It's just that the fine tunnings at the back of the floyd are lower on the 'Lo-Pro' Floyd types. The influence is on the placement of the hand, depending on how you play guitar. Try it by yourself :)

[spibby]

oh, well i had a regular floyd and my hand never really touched the fine tuners anyway, i was already planning on buying one of these. thanks for the info

[GITFIDDLEMASTER]

would you say it was built good? cuz i definitly want one but it said it was made in korea but i heard if its made in north korea youre fucked but south korea makes them good. so tell me please.

[GITFIDDLEMASTER]

another thing, you can get really good reach to the 24th fret right?

[jefonyx]

THe guitar is well made (most probably in South Korea) and the access to the 24th is amazing

[GITFIDDLEMASTER]

thanks. great playing. check me out.

[BZG07]

I just got it in Black today its AMAZING

[elementskater94]

thats wat this guitar is all about

[rockbro93]

lol good luck with getting anything from north korea

[Guzey89]

Please tell me about tremolo system, is the lycensed floyd s bad on this dean?

[jefonyx]

It's an Original FLoyd Rose :)

[metalbards]

realllyy

U play Verryyy well , U have an amazing Gear Broth ;)

keep on rocking ;)

[jefonyx]

Thanks :)

[Skogsbrenner]

band band kicks ass where i can i find them at i cant find any thing about them on the net! and the guitar is freakn awsome really want one

[jefonyx]

Thanks! It's my band : for the moment I put several songs on my myspace (see on the description part).

[Skogsbrenner]

would you be interested in doing a project together?

[psyphre]

So how are the frets, are they as big as claimed. They look pretty massive in the video.

[jefonyx]

I don't know what kind of frets are mounted on this guitar, but it's not Jumbo. It's taller than my Ibanez..I think it's medium frets

[luckyguitar123]

That doesn't make sense, if they are taller and Ibanez uses Jumbo how can those be medium?

[jefonyx]

Well you must be right, I don't know what kind of frets are on my guitar lol

[BZG07]

There even bigger than jumbo

[66Titan66]

What! 24th fret with your forefinger, thats incredible. I saw Rusty giving an overview about this guitar, I didnt think it was actually all true lol.

Good to see some of your own work too

[66Titan66]

Lovely guitar, hows she play?

[jefonyx]

Fabulous !

I really like thin necks and this is the thinnest I've ever played. 18mm first fret and 20,5 at 12th fret, for a 7 string it's very thin ! The Neck is totally profiled to have the less material as possible. It's thinner than the Ibanez Universe.

The cutaway is amazing : I can play the 24th fret with my forefinger !!

[jefonyx]

It's not the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen, I must confess, but it's the most playable.

Believe me, I used to play Ibanez 6 Strings, and now I can't play anymore on such guitars !
