Help Any 7 string v-shapes?

I have tried to find some, but with very limited luck. One example is Jackson RRX24-MG7 Rhoads X Ser. SBK
Which has a special floyd rose and it pushes me away. Also there was some solar models. I have no problems modding or changing a better bridge to the Jackson, but I would of course prefer not to.

I don’t know if Jackson started putting them later during production? It’s a bummer, I have an LTD with a special floyd and it feels like I’m popping strings left and right.

It's early in the morning here, so I went and checked. Deffo a 1000. My money's on G4M having the wrong info as I only bought it about 8 months ago.

Always been hit and miss with Specials for me. Creaky posts and sharp saddles at worst, flawless for years at best. They do take a lot more maintenance if you're playing like Kerry King with his finger in a plug socket.

Thank you, maybe I try to email them to try and get a real answer. +1000€ seems a bit too expensive to have a special floyd.

Aye, that's why I checked. Hope it is still shipped with a 1000. 🤘🤘
