Also if you want a locking trem and aren't buying a PRS the k7 is a steal used (the Japan ones, again).
The pickups are bright in this guitar. A little brighter than I like. I normally enjoy the HFS and VB combo, but in the 7, I'm not sure if I like it...and FWIW I had them in other maple neck PRS before (CE line) and liked them then. I'm just not convinced that they are the same "spec."
I have not. I suppose I could borrow one of the covers of one of the several pickups I bought, but I didn't buy any covered pickups.
And: there aren't any aftermarket pup covers? That's weird...
EDIT: there does not appear to be any aftermarket pickup covers for 7-string pickups.
While I do not think the stock SE-7 pickups are worth the modifications and that an aftermarket pickup (even used) will give you FARRRRR better results, here are some aftermarket covers. You may need to verify the pole spacing.
One of the best purchases I have made in the last few years. Ive got a Skervesen Raptor 7 as well and 9 times out of 10 i'll reach for the PRS just bc of the feel... Don't hesitate, JUST DO IT!
Hey thanks guys. It's had a lot of work done. The PTC team did the headstock refinish and replaced the wiring harness and pots to USA spec. I put a Hipshot bridge, Hipshot Griplock locking tuners on it, the black hardware, and the pickups are Bare Knuckle Juggernauts.
The "octopus" is Misha Mansoor's "Bulb" icon, stylized a bit.I forget which pickups look like they have octopi on them -- which pickup are those? I have to admit, between those and the black rings, looks great!
And that has pushed me over the edge - now I think I will put these Juggernauts on my "must buy eventually" list - I like Periphery's stuff, so these would certainly get me closer to the sound that is in my head.Hey thanks guys.

Not any more.
DId you buy it?
Aye.
heh heh. Awesome!
On the downside, he hasn't shipped it yet. Contacted seller, awaiting response.Attaboy!

Got the story on this -- they left it in the shop window too long, and the UV rays from the sun leached the sapphire blue to green. They gave me a discount, so I bought it, contingent on the tech checking out the neck and making sure it's okay. So now I'm back up to 4 with the second and fourth still incoming. I prefer this to a full seafoam green, because it still has some blue in it, and I like colours that start arguments (of the inconsequential, "no that's green-blue"/"no that's blue-green" variety). Not sure what to call it -- "sapphire green"?

The other one from the same seller was the same guitar accidentally listed twice.
Think I'll have two setup with alternate bridge/neck pickups -- one Benedetto/JB, the other JB/Benedetto.
Now tell me about this "USA spec" thingy -- how much of an improvement was that?
He refunded my money, claiming they couldn't get it again (of course they can't, they were supposed to have it in stock; also a little disturbed that they waited until I contacted them [9 days later] to say anything). Don't think I'll be dealing with them again.
