NGD, but it may be going back...

Not that I can speak about these guitars, but seeing as how you are in the UK, maybe you could look for something easier to find.

Looks like Fret King and their sub-brands would be a possibility, if they make a 7.
They may be more available in your area? I know we can't get them in the US. FWIW.

I'd be looking at Agile.
Korean made...INEXPENSIVE....very well made guitars.
You want a 7 stringer?....Why stop there? Rondomusic will sell you an 8 string Agile!
Here's a few 7's on special:

Indonesian Jacksons are very inconsistent it seem. If 25.5" scale is ok with you Ibanez Iron Label series could worth checking out for 7-stringer.

I'd recommend looking at a used Ibanez Prestige or RG7620. I've played around 5 Agile's, and the only thing I can say is stay away.

Really?
I have 3 Agiles. All AL models and all of them are top notch...I took it for granted that the quality level was the same across the board for all models carrying the Agile name.

How about a Carvin USA 7 ?

If you are in the UK, I believe the Chapman guitars are made at World Guitars. I know they are Korean made for sure, just not 100% sure if it's WG. I know they are/were developing a 7 but I don't know where they are at with it.

Just about hitting the stores.

That looks cool, but with a 25" scale, you're gonna have to go up in gauge from the standard floppy 56 low B that's gonna be on it. Even on my Carvin and LTD AW-7 that are 25.5" scale, I use a 59 and have been thinking of going up to 60.

You know, despite people bitching about all of them... every one of the newer imports that I've played has been a solid guitar. Regardless of whether they're made in India or Indonesia. Maybe I just got better than average ones, lol
