^I was almost gonna a RG 7321 brand new in fact.
But I ended up finding that fantastic, Japanese made 7421 for less than half the price of a new 7321.
It sucks they don't make the 7421 anymore, because they really are better than the 7321.
If you can, try to find a 7421/7621/7420 or an RG 7620. They were the 7 strings that represented the golden era of Ibanez 7 strings. Once you play one of the Japanese made 7 strings from the late 90s/early 2000s like those aforementioneds models, you'll have a hard time going back to the Indonesian made 7321 (unless you got your a 7321 a few years ago, in which case it will be Korean made).
The 1527 model is great too, although not cheap unless you snag one on the used market that is a  few years old.

Jackson RR3 tuned to standard and occasionally a step down, and a Vintage VS6 tuned to standard.

Nothing amazing I know, but I hope to get an RR24 soon.

Nice axe.

How are liking the pickups? The tone gets mixed opinions.
Some prefer the more rounded sound of them compared to vintage pickups, other people dislike the pickups for the very same reason.
My favorite feature of the Samarium Cobalt pickups is how damn quiet they are.
Even quieter than full size humbuckers, it's crazy.
Only bad part about the guitar is that it's overpriced, but granted, I live in Australia where almost anything off the shelf is absurdly overpriced anyway.

 
Thanks!
 
The Samarium Cobalts are great...they're super quiet but still allow for a wide range of tones...the S-1 switching is a lot of fun too...best 2 grand I ever spent Wink

Without a locking nut there is no way to stop your strings from going out of tune if you're using the whammy extensively...



For a start, the DT555 does have a locking nut, so that's hardly the problem per se.
The DT555 is over 20 years old now, if not around 25 years if I recall.
Assuming that the bridge is based on a dual fulcrum system, the knife edges are most likely well past their use by date if the trem system was used regularly due to burrs forming on the knife edges, meaning the trem can no longer return to the zero point, and there may possibly be burring in the bridge saddles as well, which is going to affect tuning stability too.
If you get the fretboard re radiused to 15 inches you can then fit a Kahler 7200 trem and new locking nut.
The 15 inch radius is required because Kahlers are pre-radiused to 15 inches from factory.
This will solve your tuning stability problems.
Although, note that Kahlers cannot flutter, if you're into that sort of thing.

Thanks Atavachron...*it's my precious* ...mine actually has a humbucker at the bridge & off-white pickups & knobs rather than white.
 
I'm in the process of having all of my chrome hardware changed out to gold-plated...I think it'll look great with the body color.

I love an Ovation...love the crispy-warm tone they get. What kind of finish?
