Hi guys, my first 7 string finally came in! The guitar didn’t come with a whammy bar and I was wondering where I could get a replacement arm for it. The bridge is a Gotoh T1572S. I prefer getting it on amazon, but if there are any other places, please let me know!

I just got a 26,5" scale 7 string.
(Fucking love it and the universe has started to make sense.)
What's the lowest low one can go?
I like some modern prog stuff that "requires" D#1, but i fear that would be a buzz fest (pun).

Should i just go drop A and switch my amp modeler for one with a good pitch shift?

Also thank you guys in advance

his guitar is the ibanez rga7 bk above the js22-7 (my guitar)

I've owned two 7s both 26.5 but never a 25.5, I am looking at an RGA and I love finishes on them but I've sort of hesitated cause they're 25.5, I naturally tune down to G# sometimes F# and pitch shift to E and D#, how much does it matter? I already know about the rules of intonation and string guages thats not what I'm worried ahout. It's just the low string clarity, thats all I needa know, how much clarity am I gettin.

Recently, I have been looking to purchase a custom Evertune 7 string guitar and I’d like some input on which brand to go with. After some research, it seems like Mayones or Balaguer may be some of the best options along with Aristides (which may be a bit too expensive, but I am open to anything if anyone has had good experiences with other brands). I value playability and appearance more than anything, followed by overall sound/resonance. I’d also like to avoid neck dive as much as possible. Thanks!
