Members Mr_GoodBomb Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 I always thought a 7-string explorer would be cool, but yeah, who plays 7-strings anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vintage55 Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 1 too many strings... I saw an 8 string somewhere online recently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr_GoodBomb Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 Are you serious? Yes, I am. They were the vogue for nu-metal guys 10 years ago, and a few years a go there were a couple of metalcore guys using them, but now it's mostly those same bands that are dying out or going to even LOWER registers (8-strings) and the same prog guys who've been playing them for 15 years and don't need a Gibson to do it.

Members Malfunction Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 Looks nice but i used to have a 7-string. It only collected dust so i sold it and have never missed it since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarmandp Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 I sold this guitar a year ago but this is my old Ibanez 7 string. Guitar sounded killer but the guitar was very ugly, which is why I got rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members V-man Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 When you have (perceived) mojo radiating from the headstock, you don't need to be punctual. Nevertheless, when you are late to the party, take 5 min to spray some Axe under the pits and throw a decent shirt on. Don't make a blacked-out guitar then just toss a nickel hardware pack from the parts bin, and for the love of God, Don't add a {censored}ing rosewood board! It's little things like these that show Gibson pandering for a buck and they don't put their heart into it, or have no illusions they are pandering.I mean, it's not like they don't know better. An Explorer with EMGs? Somebody obviously did their homework over there. Is it that hard to go the extra mile? Excuse me, extra 100 yards... "going the extra mile would be routing from the back for a clean pg-free front in line with other Blacked out 7s)I'll just toss this into the ill-conceived reject bin that's threatening to spill over (say hi to the Holy Explorer and shredder V ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wulver Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 Well, this is one of the few guitars out of Gibson recently that hasn't had an utterly stupid design, so we'll have to give them props for that. Sleek, blacked-out coolness on this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crunchtime Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 It should have an ebony board. Gibson will no doubt {censored} it up with an "extreme" version featuring a Kahler, no locking nut, and some sort of lame inlay at 12th fret.
