Ibanez Universe VS. Earnie Ball Music Man JP7 - HELP!

[renzo1p]

What's going on everyone??

I'm looking to buy a new 7 string before the end of the years. I will have $2,100 saved up by then. I have looked at a bunch of 7 string models and I have narrowed it down to these 2.

Which one do you recomend and why? They both cost the same new. Hope some people who have played these can help de decide.

Thank you very much!


PS:I play Prog/Power Metal

The workmanship in the EBMM is top notch. and you can get a piezo with it too. a guy i used to play in a band with let me play his and it was impressive.

I dont have a seven string, but I do own an Ibanez s540 Japanese custom made and two Musicman Silhouette guitars. I prefer my Silos for comfort and feel. My son on the other hand loves the Ibanez.

MMJP7. Not only is the bridge as stable as a Floyd Rose, it takes maybe at least 25000 hours less time to put new strings on and go. The playability is awesome. Took me about a week to get used to it, then after that, maybe a month before I fully adjusted. But it was def. worth it.

EBMM JP7 all the way!
