My 7 just got finished, but not delivered yet. It's a custom body for my RG-7620, with a little cosmetic neck work as well. Check it out! (DR strings rule, btw)

Re: 7 strings

It'll get DR's when it's done. Hopefully I'll have pics of it within the next two weeks when it's assembled and I'll start a thread to show it off [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Thanks for the comments guys!

whats about buying seven strings, strings what companies make em?

Ernie Ball makes a few sets. I use the 10-56 Slinky set, but they've also got the Power Slinky 11-58 I've been thinking of trying. Or you can just buy your normal set of whatever brand strings and get the low B string separate in whatever gauge you prefer.
I believe D'Addario, GHS, Dean Markley and DR also make 7 sets... just check the manufacturers' websites and see.

Jeff Loomis from Nevermore uses SIT's on his 7 string. He uses .10-.52 with a .70 for the low B string. thats why he loves SIT so much, because they make a .70 GUITAR string

they also make light and medium gauge 7 string strings

Re: 7 strings

First that graphic soloist in you pic Screamin is fucking IT, second i played my first 7 stringer and realized it is not for me, sure i could be cool but i am not really into korn or the low B string, I want to master 6 before i take on 7.

Re: 7 strings

It's funny that everybody loves my Nagel soloist but when I first bought it from GC 5 years ago, they couldn't give it away. It went from 1400 to $630. It was in mint condition and at that price< I had to buy it. It is now my #1 guitar.

Damn! I couldn't imagine really using anything bigger than a 58 or 60. I'm happy now with my 56 in regular B tuning; though, it can be a little floppy when doing the Drop A thing.

Re: 7 strings

I use D'Addario 9.5 to 44 set, then I buy a bunch of .56 single strings for the low B. Mine's a EBMM Petrucci, and once I learned to approach it as a regular six string with an added "bonus", it became so easy to get around on.

Re: 7 strings

I had a DR7T for a while and at first did the "typical" Gnu-Metal-type stuff on it, then started using the 7th string for octave-doubling things above the 5th-string/7th-fret E5 and A5 chords, and it really made the bottom end of a given track tons heavier than just doing "chug chugga chug" on it.

Re: 7 strings

Here's my custom shop 7 stringer. I don't know for sure, but i'm pretty sure it's a kinda rare.

Re: 7 strings

DAMN! That Rhoads is cool! Is that an unbound rosewood board? What's the story with that guitar, is it neck through?
