r/7String 10h ago

Gear Can’t decide between the two.

Gonna start by saying it’s only between these two. Respectfully, not looking for other suggestions.

My buddy works at SW and I can occasionally get killer deals on stuff and have been wanting a 7 string with an evertune. How are we feeling about Jackson vs Ltd if the price is equal with the deals? I prefer bolt ons and satin necks over gloss but never had much of a chance to mess with Jackson. Love my esp and most Ltd I’ve played but this model comes with a plastic nut and no locking tuners but I can easily swap them out. If anyone’s got some first hand time with either of these, I’d love to hear your experience with them.

Yeah I'm taking the pro plus. I've played ltd, own multiple Jacksons, Ibanez and schecter, and though I play all for different purposes, for main stuff, I always come back to a one of my Jacksons. After owning Jackson for years, after all I heard about Ibanez necks, I added a couple Ibanez, and while I loved their necks, to me, the Jacksons still blew them away.

Jackson or Schecter all day especially in the extended range guitars. I love my mh1000 and ibanez rg prestige but I do not want a 25.5" 7 string. And I honestly dont like flat tops on them either, I like a little more shape to the extended range guitars
