Pre-ordered and purchased brand new from Sweetwater in late 2021. I had never owned a 7 string guitar before and after receipt, realized I don’t care for 7 string guitars. This guitar only has approximately 5-6 hours of play. It wouldn’t be a gloss finish without every swirl showing up with the proper light. There are some small surface scratches in the gloss north of the bridge pickup and on the bottom edge of the body. I tried to capture them in photos, but they are not visible due to the gloss finish and lighting. The guitar was professionally setup and I had the nut upgraded to bone. I will include a pack of Ernie Ball Power Slinky 11-56 strings. I am happy to answer any questions and provide additional photos. Does not include a case.
Below is from the manufacturer:
The Jackson Pro Series Signature Chris Broderick Soloist HT7 is a 25.5″-scale, 7- string guitar featuring a resonant mahogany body with an arched top and through-body maple neck, scarf joint and graphite reinforcement for rock-solid stability and enhanced sustain. Its 12″-radius bound laurel fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets is ideal for all playing styles, comfortable for both low riffing and soaring leads.
Contemporary guitarists require tonal versatility and punchy clarity to keep pace with the rapid twists and turns of today’s metal. Direct mount DiMarzio Chris Broderick signature humbucking bridge and neck pickups deliver powerful clear harmonics with accentuated pick attack and tight lows for versatile tone, from heavy chording to searing solos. The volume control conceals a push/pull switch for coil-splitting, unlocking even more tonal options while the tone control’s push/pull switch enables the tone circuit. Switch between pickup combinations with a three-way toggle, while a mini-toggle kill switch allows for the stuttering effects that have become integral in modern metal. The Jackson Single-String hardtail bridge creates perfect intonation along the entire length of the neck to ensure complex chords ring true, working in harmony with the sealed die-cast locking machines for tuning stability that can withstand a good pick-hand thrashing without shifting.
A force to be reckoned with, the Pro Series Signature Chris Broderick Soloist HT7 is finished in sinister Gloss Black with matching reverse Jackson AT-1 3×4 headstock and black hardware.
