Re: Any seven-string love?
I actually scored a new (albeit used, but still great condition) 7 string, on the 22nd, so just on Tuesday. I'll make a thread about it later, can't now since I'm going out.
I've gotten to a point where I actually sold off my only high quality 6 string electric, because I've basically totally moved onto 7 string electrics now and couldn't justify keeping a guitar I didn't play.
Having 24 frets and 7 strings just seems to offer the perfect range for me.
I've played an 8 string before, but honestly the extra range just wasn't really for me. I do respect what others do with the instrument however, but as I said, just wasn't something I could see myself playing in the long term.
What music do I play? Before I played 7 strings , I played everything from death metal, to blues rock, to pop/alternative rock and even some funk.
Nothing has really changed in that department. The only difference is now I have extra options available to me when I play those styles of music because I have one more string.
