Hey there!

Rustreaver actually persuaded me to start this thread since a few of us are getting 7 stringers. . . This thread is open to all and we hope we can answer as many questions possible about the 7. . . feel free to ask us anything and we'll try our very best to give a good answer

valkyrie1232, on the issue of pups for your 7 depends on what you plan to paly with the 7. . . i noticed your previous setup has a PafPro and since you're getting the K7 you can just stay with the stock pups as the K7's use Paf. . . but it seems that the best DiMarzio all rounder neck pup is still the AirNorton. . . i'm getting the Norton for the neck. . . if you want less mids then go for the Blaze. . . these 2 are the top notch 7 string pups from DiMarzio. . .

RustReaver. . . good news for you. . . you may wanan stop with the X2N and get the new DiMarzio D Activators. . . it's a passive pup made to emulate an active. . . you need to change the pots for your guitar tho. . . its 500 ohms. . .wtf? lolz
the EQ is sick. . . it has L-4 M-5 H-8 for a Neck and a mroe balanced 6-6-6.5 for bridge. . . if i were you i may instead put the neck pup for the bridge and vice versa. . . now i'm thinking of changing the D-Sonic to the Activator. . . decisions decisions. . .

my friend from US says that the Activator is very much like an EMG. . . all power and kinda toneless. . . very head on. . . check out the new Ibanez Xiphos Demo's to get a rough idea how it sounds. . . the Xiphos uses the Activator. . . pointy gutiars not my cup of tea tho. . .

Oh Hell Yeah! Kudos for starting this thread EQ777!

There are a lot of things I need to learn about the 7 string though, hopefully can learn from sifus like yourself.

Yeah I do like the 6 string PAF Pro for the neck but I'm not too sure on the 7 string models coz I've read a couple of reviews saying that the stock PAF7s on the K7 isn't really great. Or something like that.

Air Norton 7 or Blaze 7 does sound appealing though. Will check out more.
Btw, what string gauge do you guys use?
I'm pretty stuck in the range of 9-42, so I guess it'll be 9-52 huh?

Cheers!

Yeah, now we finally got our own little sanctuary... The idea was your's mate, I'm just here for the ride!

Not sure about this D Activator though. Actually, I was GASsing for the X2N before I got my EMGs... maybe I'll try an X2N-7 for the bridge and the D Activator for the neck... the L-4 M-5 H-8 seems interesting IMO...

But first things first- I gotta source the CASH!

The PAF7 is supposed to be ok, just that it's very low output for heavy riffing I guess... If you get an EVO7 or other high output bridge pup, there may be a volume difference between neck and bridge. But since you pretty much only use the neck for leads, you can probably compensate on your GT-6.

And K7 come with 9-52 standard I think.

For some reason, I find that I don't really have that much of a problem using 9-52s on the 1527 - previously for 6-strings (cheh-wah!), I found that 9-42 just didn't have enough string tension. Always had trouble with Valkyrie's TH-1 Stealth with 9-42s... hmm, maybe 9-52 is easier to play because of the 5-piece maple/wenge neck... (ehem!).

Anyway, anyone knows where I can get the definitive neck specifications for the 1527? The Malaysian Ibbie portal says it's an Ultra neck, the Jap portal says something else and Jemsite says it's Wizard7 Prestige. And if it's maple/wenge, does that mean the 2 dark stripes are not bubinga?

I know I know, it's not really vital must-have information... but it's good to know.

what sifu? where? who sifu? i wan meet him also!

sifu your head. . . i far from sifu. . . i'm just like you guys. . . all equal here

the K7s stock PAF7 are just a clearer and more defined version of the original stock pup you get from the 1527 IMO. . . i tried it and its really good if you plan to play classic rock on it. . .

Air Norton FTW! i've done alot of research and that pup still comes out top

you should use higher gauge as yoru using the K7. . . all K7's come stock drop 1 whole step to A. . . if you wanna play it in Std Tuning you gonna have to send to a really good guitar tech to fix a few stuff. . . Intonation, Height, Buzz, Truss. . . alot of work to be put into. . . so i suggest you stick with the A tuning and use higher gauge strings like the 10 sets. . . if you use 9 it may run out of tune and be really flabby at times. . .

Well honestly since you're into high output pup's i guess yo could try the D-Act and X2N combo. . . what i can suggest is if you want a fatter tone why not use a D-Act (Bridge) pup for you Neck and then X2N for the Bridge. . . or for ultimate hardcoreness, 2 X2N. .

the tension is slightly increased thanks to the extra B string. . . the feel of the strings are still the same but there is added weight and tension to the strings as a whole . . . bending is slightly harder now if you notice compared to a 6. . . when i go back to my 6 i find bending and all so much more easier. . .

from what i gathered, our necks are Maple/Wenge instead of Bubinga. . . the 1527 has gone through slight changes so yea its wenge now. . .

Keep on playing with your 7 and im very sure that you'll notice improvements in your playing

What songs are you playing now with your 7?

i recommend these songs to start up with a 7 stringer
Dream Theater- As I Am,This Dying Soul (heavy riffage and cool solo's)
Korn-(ny of their songs as they are simple and has no solos)

if you damn crazy hardcore pro thenplay Rusty Cooley

i get a feeling this thread is just gonna be between you two

haha not really valkyrie1232 has already ordered a 7 string and i have 2 other friends joining in the fun

also it's a thread for anyone to enquire about the 7. . . you can be a 6 string user curious about the 7 we'll try our best to answer and give a better insight on the 7

copied/quoted from another thread.

as far as i could recall... there's no 7-string Gio... really or not?

Yeah Air Norton FTW. The one and only God, Mr John something something Petrucci!

Just kidding.

I'm definitely changing the tuning to Standard B. Not really a dropped tuning kinda guy and I'm too darn used to the 9's gauge. Nvm, we happen to know a reputable techie around here who roams around Jln Gasing ...

But he's probably too busy to service my guitar for this month at least...

Actually, I was already thinking of 2 X2N-7s...



Extra tension due to the B-string? No wonder... I'm not complaining though!

Maple/wenge and not bubinga? Are the dark stripes the wenge then?

Yes, I hope so... right now, the only new thing I can do is play damn low, muddy-sounding runs...

Ok, EQ777, since you've had a 7-string the longest amongst the 3 of us jokers here, what's a cool/brutal 7-string technique that you've learned so far?

Aiyah... Rusty Cooley no need to bother lah... DT also cannot play! and Korn, maybe Valkyrie can lah with his K7, I ain't got the tuning for it...

there is / was a 7-string gio.
but why pay for that when i've seen used RG7321 for RM1100+ also?
of cos the 7321 is fixed bridge, which imo is more preferable for 7-strings.

Actually yeah... I think teh 7-string gio has been discontinued. A 2nd-hand RG732x would be a better deal, it's MIK I think.

the only 7-string that i want, if i manage to find it, is the epi LP standard.
they made a version about 5-6yrs ago.

yes no more 7 string Gio. . . discontinued. . . but there is the Korea 7 stringer the RG7321 or you can also look at the S7, it's basically the S series in 7 strings

haha!!! Petrucci started the whole 7 string thingy. . . Cooley met him and he started the 7. . . same goes to fareri. . . and all those psycho 7 string fret melters. . .

well i guess it should be ok for you since you have someone to fix it. . . go for 9-52 then. . . i moving to higher 10's for my nxt restring. . . for better tone xD

but my fingers definately gonna bleed. . . the same when i play my damn Taylor. . . 13 gauge is a killer. . .

when you get the dual X2N's remember to call me! i wanna try it out. . . it'll look killer tho. . . bloody polepieces look damn macho xD

yea. . . i guess the 2 black stripes are the wenge. . . and low muddy runs make you play better. . . after you change pup your muddy runs will sound like a charm!

well honestly the 7 string doesnt make things harder but instead makes playing far easier. . .
a thing i noticed is scale runs have less movement. . . for example playing a G Aeolian mode with a 6 string requires me to start from the 3rd fret of the 6th to the 15th th fret of the 1st. . . with the 7 i just start at the 8th fret of the 7th string and move to the 15th of the 1st. . . this gives economy in doing long scalular runs. . .

anoter fun thing is you can have more octaves when playin appregios. . . try out those cool extended appregios from the 7 - 1st string. . . sounds bloody cool. . .

and if you play jazz you can play alot of new chords which previously with your 6 is near impossible to play. . . the 7 opens up countless possibilities in your playing and changes the way you approach your guitar. . .

what i recommend is that you restructure your playing again. . . try approaching the 7 like a beginner. . . it helps in preventing you from playing the same ol 6 string licks you used to play. . . you will notice your choice for notes and chords will also change to suit the 6. . . learn the new scale positions. . . ( not much to learn since its only an additional string which emulates the high B)

and you can just learn the song but play the Korn song with std tuning =)

7 strings have tunign stability problems. . . even mine has problems when i play Vai tunes where i spam the whammy bar. . . the bar can't seem to go back to its original tension thus loss of tuning. . .

Std tuning are much favoured by 7 string users as most of them 7 slingers tend to play picking and heavy riffs instead of whammy bar tricks. . . even i hardly use my whammy bar for my 7 string. . . so yea it's more of like a + thing to have the bar there. . .

i've seen that. . . ebay was selling the epiphone version a year or 2 back when i was looking for alternative7 strings. . . try lookin around for it. . . i'm sure you'll be able to get it =D

Yeah, you're right about the scale runs and more economy... although I'm still getting used to the pattern... If I start from the low B, I usually get confused at the A and D strings - my D aeolian will suddenly become like E aeolian for a while until I hit the G string and get my bearings right again...

Haven't gotten around to learning 7-string arpeggios... though I'm guessing it'll be pretty fun to be able to hit like 3 octaves in one position!

This post has been edited by RustReaver4D1: Apr 5 2007, 08:51 PM

Ala...6 string arpeggios pun i wanna die oredi...
Gotta start slow man...probably learn how to manipulate chords and riffs first.

Thanks for your advice, EQ777! You da man!

it's a matter of getting used to. . . once you get the hang of it you'll be flying in no time. . . a good way to learn it is to actually only the 6 and 7 strings of the modes and then when you can remember that connect them together with how you would do with a normal 6. . .

yea. . .fun but bloody tedious lolz. . . damn stress to play. . . and alot of legato . . .

haha sureo r not? suddenly when i meet you, you go do some 7 string 24 fret runs

chords are definately easy if you play power chords. . . cause it still uses the same fingering as the 6th string. . . no difference whatsoever. . .

welcome. . . glad i can help. . . hope the 7 string community here will grow. . . if you know anyone who uses the 7 ask them come here can talk about it

well..

if i get a 7 string guitar..

i think my gauge will be -8-8-11-14-22-30-38

i will have 2 08s string..is that possible ?

i can create a new technique called sweep double tapping..

I thought you already did !

i think that is possible. . . but the strings will either be too flabby or too stiff and breaks at the tension dependin on how you tune it. . . i wanted the High A instead of the Low B and the string broke when i strung it. . . wasted my $$$ =.=

ZOMG! gapnap pro. . . wonder what happens when he really has a 7. . . 10 finger appregio taps with 12 fret stretches!!!

Hehe, if he had a 7 he'll probably do 12 finger arpeggio taps across 8 strings...

.........and you know what i heard about lowyat being ass kissers ..

valkyrie , EQ77 , rustreaver

you the best bro !

does it get tired bending over all the time?

Any idea how they manage to do it for 8-string guitars... hehe, the Conklin Sidewinder comes to mind...

And what about the RG2228? Do you think it's possible to string it with the low B and high A? ...not that I'm interested in going down the 8-fold path... yet...

This post has been edited by RustReaver4D1: Apr 6 2007, 12:15 PM

haha thats not ass kissing!!!~that is showing awestruck wonder at you!! you're like a God wei!!!

can you play with your toes? lol!

the conklin 8 string side winder used by cooley has the higest string strung at a 8 or 9 gauge. . . then it goes up higher. . . so the 8th string is actually the 2nd string of the bass guitar. . .

i can't afford the RG2228. .. its around 6.5-7k. . . already enquired when it came out cause i wanted to get it. . . but decided no money. . . so yea. . . i've asked the guys at the Ibz forums and it seems that you cant do a high A unless you call and customize. . . which means the guitar will be made to fit that tuninng. . . not sure how. . .but still it's possible. . . Cooley sold off his 9 string == lolz it seems thathe wasnt utilizng the extra string. . .

one of my rg7321 i'm using is on a gauge 0.011 - 0.056 but i'm really disappointed with the pickup which doesnt match the rg7620 pickup which is on gauge 0.011 - 0.060. trying to change the rg7321 pickup frm AH7 to DiMarzio(R) Paf 7 pickups

Oh yeah another noob question regarding the 7 string.
Where do I find them strings? Preferably 9-52s...

is it on standard tuning? and if you're looking to change both the neck and bridge to PAF7s?

you can probably ask valkyrie since he is planning on swapping his K7 pups for other models

what music do you play Beastmasta?

you can buy a standard gauge set and then add on a seperate .056. . . bentley sells the extra's. . . the problem is i can't find Diaddario single strings. . . so i mix ernie with diaddario. . . prefer Diad since they last and sound better than EB. .. but o course the price is diff too =.=

the rg7321 is on C flat tune while the other one on a low A tune, yea i've found some PAF7's pickups but to get the neck is not easy heh. omg valkyrie why is he getting rid of the K7 its like they stop making that guitar already and korn(munky) came out with the new APEX 1 and 2. mostly i play nu-metal songs more on power riffs + dark melody effect sound than shredding ( i sux at soloing )

Same here bro Equilibrium777, i've always prefer Diaddarios to ernieball guess the tone n sound it makes ring sweet to my ear than the EB. which 7string ur using Equilibrium777? wat kind of songs u listen to?

---

Added on April 8, 2007, 9:14 amval...mayb u could use d'addarios setup 0.010 - 0.056 gauge setup a notch a bit higher, i guess u can find some at Ckmusic. i bought a whole box contain 10 packs cause its hard to get strings for 7stringer in srwk.

wow nice man! alot of guitars! how much you bought them? im saving for another 7 or if i can maybe the 8 lolz. . .

you can try woh fatt cause i think i saw a few 7 string pups there which are old so im guessing they'll let it go cheap. . . don't have my pups so i didnt bother. . .

i dont think he's getting rid of it haha he ordered it but havent arrived. . . maybe just planning to change the pups?

i'm using the RG1527. . . 06 model. . . i usually use my 7 stringer to play Dream Theater,cooley, and the likes. . . usually play prog metal, and use my 7 for solo's. . .

CK music sell's in sets? cause they actually have a 7 string sets for both diad and EB but ppl just dont bring it in cause not many people get em. .

This post has been edited by Equilibrium777: Apr 8 2007, 02:14 PM

Hey hey I'm not getting rid of the K7! No way man!
I buy my guitars for keeps!

And yes EQ777 is right, I wanna change the PAF7 pickups so if you want them, Beat/Beastmasta I can hook you up for an affordable price.

I prefer D'Addarios too EQ! They stay brighter longer than Ernies. I checked the D'Addario Website. The standard 7 string sets for the XL Nickel Series are 009-054. But question is the set would probably be hard to find.

Would take your advice to buy a single .56 (<-macam bullets sial!) instead.

Just brought my 7 to the jam studio yesterday- ran it through a GT-8 through the FX Return of a Laney Hardcore Max halfstack. Damn, never knew what I was missing... those 5 extra low notes really make a difference!

When me and the bassist were galloping on the low D (he's using a 5-string bass too) - phew, it felt awesome... we probably gave all the cats and dogs in the neighbourhood a bloody headache!

The v77/88 pups were a bit noisy though, got quite a bit of feedback-hum-thingy when I don't play- argh! never had that problem with my EMGs...

the feedback-hum-thingy sounded quite low...probably need to do a notch in one of the lower frequencies...

anyway, Equilibrium777, you finally admit to playing Rusty Cooley stuff huh?

the rg7321 was bout 1.8k n rg7620 roughly 5.1k, woh fatt yea? i'm not too sure the whereabouts of that shop..

Added on April 8, 2007, 6:50 pmoh kool valkyrie ...u think i can get the neck as well? how much u think i can get the pickups for?

This post has been edited by Beatmasta: Apr 8 2007, 06:50 PM

well what we can do is actually rally together and go to our local D'Addario Dist and ask him to carry in 7 string sets in return we promise to get it from him. . .

i can't do it alone but i'm sure with a few of us around he may consider


glad you enjoyed it =D i know how you feel cause i had the same feeling and my bassist uses a 6 string bass. . . was killer. . .

it's not feedback but actually buzzing. . . but yea. . . the pups kinda suck compared to alot but for a stock 7 string pup it's considered one of the best. . .

cheh i play the Riffs lar. . . not the bloody steroid ridden solo's wei. . . if i can play rusty i would be touring the world lmao. . .

where you got it from? bentley? or online sites? the 7620 is regarded as one of the best 7 string Ibz models ever made. . . if you ever pop by Pj gimmie a ring i wanna try it xD

the shop is in KL near petaling street. . . if you want we can go there together. . . they have quite a number of old 7 string pups there including the Blaze and PAF

asked my dad's friend to bring it in frm the states back in 2000, i think not too sure how long was that, yeah when i heard they discountinued produce this model darn lucky to own one. yea mayb we could go for a jam session somewhere in pj sure man i'd love a company if i have free time . mayb val would wanna join jam with his k7 huhu...dang i jst love that model man..especially with the U-bar.

the epi 7-string is back.
but only in the goth version, wonder if the standard will be reissued soon.

http://www.music123.com/Epiphone-Goth-Les-...r-i353108.music

I vote the RG7 CST as the best 7 stringer Ibz has ever made... (excluding the j customs)

but hey, isnt the APEX 2 made in indo?
by all means, the K7 is japanese made then stick to it.

arghh damn. . . lolz so where ya staying? around pj? yea and dont forget rustreaver =D

4 7 stringers gonna be crazy. . . sommore you tune your tuning to diff tunings. . . always wanted to do that but got not enuf 7's =(

go for it!!! =D

it looks good =D exactly the same as the one last time only its the goth model. . . isn't it the same as last time? maybe last time was std not sure. . . and i thought all goth models come with the goth inlays?

it's quite cheap tho

Oh man, If I WERE to own a 7-string..... it'll either be a JEM or that Les Paul 7 String.......

Hmmmmmmm........ Wonder how much it would cost to paint a bullseye on that

Didn't the RG7CST cost more than the J-Customs? And according to Jemsite there were like only 24 or so RG7CSTs made... talk about exclusive!

Haha... you'd be better than Rusty coz he himself doesn't tour the world!

well i was talking about the stock standard models. . . can't afford them J Customs and all . . . lmao. . . and the JEMUV777 ain't all that great. . . tried it and kinda hated it

well i don't know much about the APEX tho. . . but if it's indo then stick with the K7

trix i strongly suggest you get the normal 1527 and mod your 7 if you were to get a 7 cause the UV777 is really overpriced and the feel and tone isn't really what great. . .

try the Epi tho =D but the bullseye finish would cost alot i guess. . .

poor ppl like me can only drool at those guitars

be thankfull we even have a guitar. . .

i where got so cun =.= he can tour if he wants but he prefers to make it big in US first

The APEX2 (string-through) is probably Indon but the APEX1 (with floating trem+Ubar) is most likely MIJ since it's the "high-end" version of the APEX. Overall, it actually looks like a comparable guitar to the K7... plus the horizontal 69 inlay and the rest of the inlay looks quite nice IMO...

Anyway, I'm surprised that you don't like the UV777... I though playability wise it should be at least slightly better than the 1527? The neck profile is a bit flatter than the 1527 IIRC... it's way over-priced, to be sure, but it looks very very classy- the 1527 on the hand is very much understated.

But if I could afford a UV777 (not in the near future!), I think I'd rather go for a Dellinger 7-string... the devil's tail headstock is just suh-weet...

Have you seen the J-custom 7-string with the vine of life inlay? One killer looking guitar... cost more than double the 1527 though!

my bad... actually the RG7 CST is a J custom... and considering how limited previous j custom runs were...

This post has been edited by MetalZone: Apr 9 2007, 11:28 AM

yea i guess it's ok but you have to see how much it costs. . . sometimes it's not worth getting a cheaper guitar if another one with better quality is like just another couple of hundred away. . . rather save up hat couple of hundred and get the MIJ. . .

i tried the UV777 twice and both times i hated the high action. . . tho it can be fixed i still find the guitar un-engaging due to the stupid pointless monkey bar which cuts out a chunk of your guitar tone. . . you just don't have sustain with that damn thing. . . and the tone is just so thin. . . the finish and all is great but tone wise and feel wise i think the 1527 win hands down. . . but you've got to try it and tell me your opinion as diff ppl look at diff things in a guitar. . .

why not get a Conklin Custom straight! =D

no i haven't you got the link to the Custom 7?

anyway to all of you who wants to try your hand at the 7 string but can't afford one a new alternative has just arrived. . .

The new Washburn X27

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Was...48&src=3SOSWXXA

its only USD$175 if you look around. . .

everyone in sevenstring.org is getting this cause this is a cheap and moddable gutiar

so do check it out if you are interested in the 7 =D

ok THAT is sweet. . . lolz. . . damn. . . i want one too

Sorry I got back to you a bit late, haven't logged in a while
I'll PM you the price!

when you getting the K7 btw? been awhile d right?

Hmmm... it's probably already at KLIA waiting for customs clearance. Unless Valkyrie takes emergency leave, guess he'll have to wait until Saturday.

That's about 80 hours or so from now... hehe..

Anyway, metalzone, that's the RG8427F J-custom right? Damn, you should check out the black onyx paint job on the Ibanez Japan website... suh-weet....

whut val is getting the k7 soon already???

yay! lolz soon we shall take over the world!!! wakakak xD

hmm we should all meet up lmao. . . so i can try out the 7620 and the K7. . . havent tried the blue one. . . it seems that there are 3 versions of the K. . . not sure. . . so wanna see if got diff. . .

btw i saw this book called the scales and chords for 7 string. . . was at a music store at uptown. . . forgotten the writer tho. . lolz. . somebody get it then we photostat and share! lolz!

Gee, Valkyrie's gonna keeeeeel me for telling... turns out only three dudes knew he was getting the K7 until I posted it in the Sanctuary... whoops, my bad.

"Gee, Head, what'd you wanna do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Munky — Try to take over the world!"
Munky and the Head... ekekekekke

err... ok, that may have been before your time...

Woi! LYN got strict policy for respecting people's intellectual property rights ok!

PINKY AND THE BRAIN!!!!!! ROXXORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anywya lolz k k we dont photostat. . we share the book together. . . my bad

No one said cannot photostat, just don't publicise it!!!

AH7 pickups on the Rg7321 could have been better if they would use different setup on this model, mayb its newer model for a budget 7 stringer compare to the Ibanez GRX720BK Gio 7-String which i bought 3 years ago for my lil brother lol. mayb a change of pickups n neck..adjusting the trust rod should do tha trick.

Hey Beatmasta, you were asking me in PM about the PAF7. Well it's pretty much like the 6 string PAF Pro version I guess but it has lower output though.

If u can't google just go to dimarzio.com and then select 7 String pickups.
The PAF7 is there

heh thx val..currently ur playing on whch guitar now since ur still waiting for ur k7. wat setup effects pedal ur gonna run thru it

Well currently I'm using a Jackson TH-1 Stealth and at home I just run it thru my Microcube.

For studio mucking around, I use a Boss GT-6. Might have to redo the patches with the K7 though, considering the extended low end and different body tone.

is that a custom guitar cant seem to find pictures of it val..but there's a review bout it. if we can get a hand on mesa dual recti. run thru the 7s omg i'll stay at home for a week playing

which model you all talking about?

and they stopped the 7 string Gio. . . cause ppl rather buy the 7321. . .

so your lil bro shreds on 7's too. . . damn cool family =D



try the pup finder if you're there =D


yea. . . i had to do alot of settings when i got my 7. . . but i'm afraid your microcube cannot tahan man lolz. . . low B gonna be really flabby =D

lolz i'll nvr leave home lmao. . .my neighbours gonna suffer wei xD small house i staying i play at home also neighbour bising

Haha no la...where got so rich buy custom guitar. It's just a discontinued model from circa 97/98 that not many ppl know about.

Mesa Dual Recto with 7s......or KRANK?

Wei... Krankenstein + 7-string... you wanna be Jeff Loomis issit?

Aiyo, me and Valkyrie read one of the old Merchant of Menace columns... Jeff Loomis do 3 (or 4) string arpeggios on the low strings... brutal...

Guess your playing's gotta be ub3r-1337-clean to shred on the low strings like that...

Sigh.... so many guitars to get before getting a 7-string....

Next year is the year of either the Dean Razorback (most likely) or a Gibson LP Standard (Don't think I can raise that amount in time though).

THEN only will consider either another LP (Yes, I'm a sucker for LPs ).... maybe one with a floyd, a Fender Strat OR a Les Paul 7 String......

Get a 7-string first la... and join the Rule of 7!

Hahahaha... ain't that simple to snap me out of my Les Paul craze...... the only thing that did..... The Dimebag Razorback.

How bout the Dean Xenocide? Or the Schecther Hellraiser?

Sleek but brutal 7-strings...

blacktrix i tot u have enough 6 string les paul in ur collection already, come n join 7s

Blacktrix, a 7 string guitar is helluva cheaper than a Dean Razorback lehhh!

*spins Cornetto cone in a spiral motion*
You will buy a seven string....you will buy a seven string...

Any Caparison Horus fans here?
I know this is a 7 String Sanctuary but hell..I just wanna whore over the Horus for a while! Who knows, maybe someday they'll make a 7 string Horus (like they did with the Dellinger ONLY, those B******s!

But Razorback can kill you...... what with the sharp pointy ends!
But yes..... a Seven String IS on my list..... somewhere the bottom

whoa!!! the razorback costs a bomb. . . you can buy like multiple 7 strings and mod em and still have your money back. . .

and if you want cheap get the washburn. . . i posted it a while back . . . its less than 1k =D for the price you cant argue much =)

anyway im getting pissed with my damn pedal. . . wasted 200 on the damn thing and still cant find out whats wrong.. .

Urmmmm..... Actually getting the China made one lah:

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Dea...itar?sku=512926

anyone here tried the ibanez S7320? the S series 7 string? and are there any 7 strings model from ibanez that cost less than 2k? feel like getting one to fulfill my thirst for low end crunch...

RG7321?
the non japanese models might be within 2K i guess?
Actually it'll be good to hook up one second hand.

i've seen a RG7321 sell for RM1100, used of cos.

but like they say, why 7 when 6 also cannot play properly

only one person i know who can play it real well.
jack from icom.
former sputum, sessioned for tempered mental...and has probably won more best guitarist prizes than i know
he uses an old ibanez UV77 with that cool swirl finish.

Nah... just let him try an RG1527 and he'll straight-away buy a discontinued signature series 7-string off Ishibashi within 2-3 days.

At least that happened to a friend o' mine...

Dellinger 7-string ROXXORS ok!!!


Jack from Naked Breed? I've seen him like once or twice, and his playing was phenomenal...

But anyway, thanks for your encouraging thoughts.




EQ: Just wondering about the RG1527 case. Do you take off your guitar strap before putting the guitar into the case? It's quite a tight fit but I'm damn lazy to have to pasang/de-pasang my strap everytime I take the guitar out... Damn J-craft buggers shoulda made the cut-outs just a wee bit larger around the top horn and side...

yea tahts the one trivium uses right?

get the Dean Xenocide hahah xD

but the razorback looks damn cool lolz

supremely overpriced for a korea guitar. . . i rather you get the RG lolz. . .

and im sure the 7 can satisfy more than your "low end" crunch. . it does alot more =D

take it off
the case is a perfect fit for your guitar. . . i kno its damn irritating but the case is really good and it protects to the max. . . it even absorbs the top end of the strings so it lasts slightly longer. . . i usually wrap the strap and dump it at the small open compartment

S7320 hmm yea kinda overprice compare to the Rg7321, its should have been an equal pair since same manufacturing place. still might hav an interest on this model on how it would sound like

Xenocide ROXXORS FTW!!!

And sad to hear about the strap... bloody annoying to put it on and take off everytime I take the guitar out...

And you're right about the case... I think the humidity is probably like zilch... but to be safe, I stuck a big packet of silica gel in the manual compartment.

Trivium actually uses the Dean USA.... custom made for them.... I can't seem to find his Alpine white Razorback anywhere......

What model is the one that dimebag played live in the song Flood on youtube?

totally agree with you. . . but it seems the S sounds better harmonically and heaviness wise. . . but overpriced just cause its "Prestige" when the fact its from Korea =.=. . .

i don't like the fact it's 22 frets lolz

haha yea. . .i took out the manual tho. . . gives me more space to put stuff lolz. . .


yea i think the white one is only for US made. . . pre order it? but it'll cost a bomb lmao. . .

well im not sure send us the link. . . but he used the ML's. . .

I just collected a K7 today. And true enough, it did not disappoint!
The PAF7 pickups are very clear for chords when played under heavy distortion. It gets two thumbs up!

Don't worry, Beatmasta, it'd be yours someday!

Had a tough time bringing the tuning back up to B and balancing the bridge though...

omg u gotten ur k7 already? XD thats kool val, thts one of my fav. 7th string guitar the new Apex 1 looks nice as well. same here bro, i had tough time bring up the tune frm low A flat back to standard B. those floyd rose bridge for 7s are a monster. heh..

mine someday

lol yea. its a perfect fit. I just take off the horn side and leave the bottom one attached and lay it over the case(over the closed compartment side)

congratz! =D you're officially a 7 user =D

yay!



all 7's need alot of work to tune. . . stress =.=

fixed not much but the floyd killer

haha ijust take it off and put it in the extra compartment. . . but the thing is if you have a strap lock it wont fit. . =.=

Thanks guys. Am really loving it now!

Hey Beatmasta, how many 7 string guitars do you have again? I kinda lost count in all these posts...hehe u have four or something, right?
