Members SpectorDave Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 I need some help. I'm wanting some time in the near future to pick up a seven string to add more variety to my collection however im not clued up on them. So recommend me some seven strings. Dont worry about budget as i am just looking for companies or models etc to begin my research. Pics please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AgentOrange Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 Either an RG7321, like mine, which is as budget as you can get within reason, but with a prosetup and fretjob, i swear to you it will play as well as any high end jackson or whatever.... Or if you have more money, you can get a blackmachine, like mine, which are the balls as far as sevens go... James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackmachine looks AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre not green stock, theyre all black with white binding, they look pretty good for the money and play great once setup. www.blackmachine.co.uk are the best of the best though James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpectorDave Posted June 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 What is the neck like on the Ibanez? From the pic it doesnt look to wide which would prob benfit me as a i dont have large hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless though, you just get used to it, six strings feel weird to me now. If youve played any RG guitar, you can probably guess what the neck is like. Wide and Flat, but it works well for a 7, probably better than it does for a six James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rummy Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 Go used. Found a stock 7421 for $300, and threw some pickups, and there it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mikeSF Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 nobody has recommended a "non-black" 7-string yet, so here are a few... and you did specifically say "don't worry about budget"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be looking for one to play metal on but those look brilliant. It's true when you say seven string you think metal, so its great to see something different, thanks!

Members mikeSF Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 I will be looking for one to play metal on ... yeah, i figured but just enjoy showing my 7's. ...and just in case anybody thinks the 7-string guitar was Steve Vai's contribution, there WAS this guy in the late 1930's who had Epiphone build him his first seven. George Van Eps is pretty much the father of 7-string guitar...check him out if you dare. [YOUTUBE]cfTtjBpIE5E[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
