Sterling JP 7 String???

[Hendog]

Am I the only one who would buy at least 1 if they made a Sterling 7 String JP???

Anyone know if they have any plans to?

 

[Hendog]

OR...

Should I just bite the bullet and buy a real JP7? hahaha

 

[the24thfret]

Bite the bullet!!

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Yep, bite the bullet!

Or wait another month and see if there is a Sterling JP70 unveiled at NAMM, you never know...

(I have no inside info)

I think you’ll be buying a real JP7. For the amount of 7 stringers being sold, I can’t see it being profitable.

Why not just save up the dough and get a used JP7? You'll thank yourself in the long run. My BFR JP7 is my favorite guitar.

There seems to be a huge market for affordable 7 stringers.

 

[browndog]

that was just my 2 cents... what do I know.

Get a real one. I happen to have a Tobacco Burst BFR JP7 for sale right now if you're interested.

Shameless, I know. But I had to

Haha Smooth!

Just save up and get a JP7. With piezo.

Yeh Piezo on a 7 string is money, I would recomend finding one of those used, you'll never regret it!

 

[JP7Nomad]

I think it'd be cool.

The JP7 is the easiest 6-7 transition guitar on the market, IMO.

JP7s own my life. I would live in a house made of them... but then I couldn't play them!

 

[Colin]

i think a Sterling JP7 would do well (I also have no inside knowledge)

From what I've seen of the early NAAM previews a lot of companies are coming out with 7 string models this year, or expanding their existing 7 string lineup. I think 7s are really popular at the moment, and even 8s are starting to be somewhat more mainstream.

 

[patpark]

what would want to see? an exact rendering of the JP7 or take some liberties and do something different? how important is it to have a tremolo bridge?

would a hard tail work?

Just talking here. I am not making any promises. I would have to go before the committee and plead my case. Give me some ideas and I'll go pitch it to the big guys.

 

[jakedawgwhite88]

A jp would be cool, although another type of 7 string might throw some more diversity into the lineup. I like the idea of the tremolo on the seven string, but the option to have trem or hardtail would definitely have appeal.

God would I give my life for a Hardtail Silo 7... I'd buy at least 2, guaranteed
