Can't be Steve Vai's! I don't think he was born then!:ROTF:

NOPE!



The honor of having the first electric seven string guitar goes to jazz player George Van Eps who even had his own signature guitar by Gretsch which was the very first production built electric seven string.



AND the first Rocker to use a seven string guitar is Uli Jon Roth.

OH...yes it`s true....
I just read the interview and Steve Vai said that it was: George Van Eps...

Uli Jon Roth even plays over 40 frets....he is crazy
