I don't have any experience in this field, but here is a short list of guitars

http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Schecter-Damien-7-Electric-Guitar?sku=513104

http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/ESP-LTD-Stephen-Carpenter-SC207-Electric-Guitar?sku=512899

http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ibanez-S7320-Electric-Guitar?sku=512509

http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ibanez-K7APEX2-Electric-Guitar?sku=512547

This is a small list, but it will at least be a start. Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in.

About 2 years ago, I bought a 7 string Schecter hellraiser and I believe it was around 500 back then. Schecter is by far not my guitar of choice but was good enough for an experimental guitar.

Check our rondomusic.com
They have quite a few really nice 7 string guitars with EMG's for that price.
Awesome finishes and hardware too...definitely worth taking a look.

Look for an Ibanez RG1527 or 7620. Ibanez makes by far the best 7-string guitars out there (imo).

if you spend any less than a grand on an Ibanez you're going to get some WEAK pickups.

Agile Makes Great 7-strings for 600-750 range. Floyd rose, EMG pickups (even though I prefer dimarzio) great action, the works. my guitarist recently picked up one and loves it. check em out.

Implying any stock pick up besides brand names (EMG, Dimarzio, etc...) are any good. Rolling Eyes

yeah definitely. Ibanez guitars feel pretty good(to me), so with some better pickups they are great Headbangin'

Dunno if you're into the body style but the xiphos comes with Dimarzio De activators. All the Badass-ness of active pickups without the Battery-Changing bullshit.
