Hello, I've had this thing a long time now and fail repeatedly in my attempts to sell it. I'm hoping this forum can help. Here are pics:

Specs:
Mahogany body
Gloss black finish with cream mother of pearl binding
Routed for Lo-Pro-Edge 7 bridge. I am not sure if you could drop an official Floyd Rose 7 string bridge in (easier to obtain than a LPE) but I could check if you want with people who know more than me.
Routed for EMG 707's/81-7's etc, so if you want different pups you're limited to Seymour Duncan Blackouts in the EMG sized case or you're going to need a pickguard if you want something normal-sized!
EB/MM JPM style control layout - 2 volume, 1 tone, 3 way toggle switch.
Only has back panel for electronics, will need cover for bridge and battery compartment.
IMPORTANT:
The neck goes in a bit deeper than the usual Ibanez style; it's more like the Schecters, thus the bridge and pups are a little further 'back' too. So... THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH A STOCK IBANEZ NECK. You can't drop in a 7420 neck, which is the only AANJ lefty 7 available. This means that you will need to either build the neck yourself, or take the more likely option of getting someone to build one for you so that it fits fine. This is just a case of building a 25.5" scale neck but drilling the holes in a slightly higher position.
As an alternative, you could potentially make a neck such as the one Steve Vai has on this Universe here:

That is a 28.265" scale neck with 26 frets. The body is a standard Universe one as far as I know. As you can see the 26th fret is level with the bottom of the cutaway. On this body it would likely end up with the 24th fret at the bottom of the cutaway, as would be typical with a normal Ibanez. Just an idea!
Now, here's the fun part. Currently the user Sponge, who is also my buddy has this body. He's in Toronto. The reason being was I sold it to him thinking it might be ok with the 7420 neck he had. It wasn't, noob error. Rather than send it back across the Atlantic, I thought that it was more likely a new buyer would be from the States or Canada, so he might as well take care of it until I managed to sell it on.
I'd like £120 for this, including shipping. I'm trying to think of the best way to arrange payment but it'll probably be something like, you pay Sponge for this and then he'll transfer the money (deducting whatever shipping was) to me.
Hope someone can do something with this, it's literally been sitting about in various places for years.
