| Remarks: This is not 100% certain to be an RR7. However, it looks like an RR6 with a slightly different control layout and a tremolo so can hardly be anything else. John Simmons found the picture on his never-ending quest for anything Heartfield-related. | ||

Type: 1988 RR7 |
| Serial #: C88019 | ||
| Remarks: This definitely seems to be identifiable as an RR7. When Paul removed the neck, it revealed an RR9 stamp with an RR7 stamp across it. The colour is Blue Sparkle, and the unique thing is that the headstock is Blue Sparkle too (instead of the usual Black). Also, now we see the back of the guitar for the first time, it can be noted that the chrome battery cover is like that of the EX Prototype and that there is a smaller rear control cover unlike any RR model. It is now also more readily seen that the pickguard and headstock have a different shape than the other models. It might be a prototype. | ||

Type: 1990 RR7 |
| Serial #: J90313 | ||
| Remarks: Of all the guitars on this page, this is definitely an RR7. It's got RR7 stamped on heel and on neck pocket. The only thing that is weird is that it has a single coil pickup in the neck position, which both Blue Book and Fender documentation don't mention. Also note that the colour is Yellow (not Yellow Sparkle) and that the tremolo cover is different. it has a maple unpainted neck. | ||
