Get a 7-string. Then you won't have to downtune to B...

And you can join the 7th Sanctuary right here in LYN...

Actually, not really. Your power-chords will still be in the same shape and all, and the extra width of the neck adds a bit more oomph to the tone.

Ibanez makes some REALLY good 7-string guitars...

No need to be a master la... ppl won't laugh at you, they'll stand in awe of your courage and bravery in wielding the mighty 7-string beast!

price of ibanez 7-string depends on the model you're looking for... I think there's an MIK or MII 7-string (RG7321?) that should be below RM2k...

7-string FTW!

And price-wise, you can definitely get one cheaper (way cheaper) than the MTM1... unless you're going for the Universe!! lolz...

Anyway, it's not that much harder to play. The fretboard is wider, but not necessarily thicker... e.g. Ibanez 7-strings have very thin necks.

The wide fretboard won't be a problem because the extra width is for the low B string. If you're playing the first 6 strings (i.e. EADGBE), it's no different than a regular 6-string guitar in terms of accessibility.

And one of the great things about a 7-string is that you can play all the heavy as h3ll sh!t in B and still be able to play regular stuff in standard E tuning.

Whereas if you get a 6-string, you'll have to tune up and tune down to switch from low B tuning to standard E etc... which will screw your action, intonation etc...

Eh, Snake... you might as well move over to the 7-String Sanctuary...

Rust got many many pics. He looks damn bloody cool and pwning playing 7-strings.
