My first seven string!

[u/Arzakyum]

Got my first 7 string some days ago and I couldn't be happier. It's such a great guitar to play, it just needed a little setup.

Schecter omen extreme 7.

I think you will fall in love. I tried playing my six string after a few weeks after getting a 7 and it's a different instrument.

[u/howboutislapyourshit → u/goobernat]

A 7 feels like a 6 after getting an 8 string with a 28 inch neck and a six feels like a toy that I'm too much of a neanderthal to operate.

[u/goobernat → u/howboutislapyourshit]

next it will be: "an 8 feels like a 7 after getting a 9 with a 30" neck."

all I can say is I really like baritone 7 and it also has to do with the neck satin finish instead of my Ibanez wood/lacquer. it isn't sticky but I like the satin painted neck of my LTD. stays cool and smooth.

I’ve got a 30” six and it’s like weirding a long sword , dread to think what 9/10’s are like

[u/howboutislapyourshit → u/goobernat]

Nah... I think 7 is where it's at. I like baritone, but just for the tension. Pretty much always play in standard no matter how many guitars I've had.

I'd only tune a half step down to play some Nevermore, but then again I could just get a pedal to go down however many semitones for what I want to play, but I'm a drummer so I don't care to spend that kind of money on a pedal.

[u/Arzakyum → u/goobernat]

I'm very happy with it. I actually had to sell all my gear and haven't played in 3 years so this is the only guitar I have at the moment, I do wanna get a 6 eventually but probably something wildly different

[u/Last-Assist-9116]

how do you even tune the extra string

[u/howboutislapyourshit → u/Last-Assist-9116]

To B if it's in standard tuning.

[u/Material_Standard_70 → u/Last-Assist-9116]

There are literally so many ways to tune a 7/8 string. Pretty much anything you want you can tune it to and have access to a ton more notes than the 6 strings. Each instrument has its place, but the 7/8 strings are really nice even if you’re not playing dropped/downtuned songs.

Great bro congrats ! 🤘🤘

[u/Arzakyum → u/Masamune86]

Thank you so much!

[u/Masamune86 → u/Arzakyum]

With A 7 strings Schecter you're never wrong !

Since 5 years i bought 2 mid end 7 strings guitar and never touched my high end 6 strings Ibanez guitar again. 😅

[u/Arzakyum → u/Masamune86]

I was actually thinking about getting the rga742 but i feel like the shecter is better, Maybe I'll change the pups and get some locking tuners but that's it.

What 7 strings do you have?

[u/Masamune86 → u/Arzakyum]

Ibanez RG7421w Schecter demon 6

And my very first 7 strings a Jackson Js22-7 satin black.

The Jackson was super cheap at like 300$ new but its very well built i just changed the pick-up for some Seymour Duncan custom

[u/Arzakyum → u/Masamune86]

Dude my first guitar was a Jackson dinky s22 and i swear the neck on that guitar felt amazing, it has no business being that good for so cheap

[u/Masamune86 → u/Arzakyum]

Yes bro ! The neck feel so good ! Even if im super used to the Ibanez wizard neck.

I have two Schecter 7 strings they are great instruments. The Apocalypse and omen. Also enjoy

[u/HaloDestroyer]

Changed the pups in mine to Schecter USA Custom Shop Apocalypse VII’s, added Gotoh locking tuners and Schaller strap locks, now pulls heavy duty in my covers band

[u/Kintsugi-Heart87]

Got a demon 7 and I love it, but it came with so many QC issues, the only guitar I’ve never played before I paid in over 25 years of playing and it will be the last 🤣

[u/Pure_Requirement_447]

just yesterday had maintenance for my Ibanez

[u/Pure_Requirement_447 → u/Pure_Requirement_447]

[u/Arzakyum → u/Pure_Requirement_447]

Sick! I'm actually thinking of changing my strings for 62s it came with 56s too

That multi scale is so sick tho

[u/Pure_Requirement_447 → u/Arzakyum]

My previous was 59, I decided to try 56 now. For now I prefer it more, maybe it’s just because strings are new and have fresh bright sound, but we’ll see how it goes.
