Not sure about the 24.75 scale though - you'd need troll strings.

Nope. I've got one of the Les Paul 7 strings and it sounds great and tight with a 60 on the B.
Not saying that longer scale lengths don't work better for 7's, but you don't need bridge cables to do it on a 24.75".

Re: 7 String SG
^^ Hmm, interesting. I'm more into superstrats, so it would more likely occur to me to get something with at least 25.5 if I were getting a 7.
Yeah, those Grovers... Would go for some lightweight open gear tuners myself, or some super fat cow hide strap.
Still, surprised you haven't got one of these yet

Re: 7 String SG
Yeah, most of the Internet seems to be insisting that you can't do it with Gibson scale lengths. I'm saying you can. Not that there's anything wrong with Superstrats, but I grew up playing Gibson style guitars. I love that there's not a huge amount of difference in feel between my 7 and my 6's.

Re: 7 String SG
Did those cheapskates leave off one trapezoidal inlay to offset the costs of the VII at the seventh position? That's something beginning with G.
