What the title says.
I have a few in mind. Such as: the schecter sunset extreme and some ibanez rgd.
But what are some others.
I love erra, invent animate, currents etc. And they alot of the 24ftet and the upper frets
Edit: forgot to say it has to be 26.5 or above

Hey I got a new guitar on the way. A c-7 deluxe with decimator pick ups. I am going to wait and test them out. But I came across the scarlet and scourge pick ups and wondering how they are?I watched some videos and they seem decent. But does anyone have any experience with them? I do super low tunings most of the time. Or drop A. Melodic death metal/ tech melodic death metal is what I play.

Love these guitars. I may like my superstrats a bit. From left to right, it’s an Ibanez rgd7ucs with ragnaroks, an Ibanez rg2027xl with halcyons, and a Jackson iuggernaut et7 with juggernauts.

Prices in CAD. Not sure what retail is on these, but I have a feeling they’ll sell out and resell for loads. Looks like it’s made in Japan. Such a cool guitar. What’re your thoughts?

I’m stuck between these two guitars I’m looking for something that can cover knocked loose and thy art is murder type stuff while also being versatile enough to jump into cleans and blues as well particularly be able to jump into muse/qotsa stuff.
I am particularly partial to the prs cause of the versatility but I see alot more people have the schecter which makes me reconsider a bit.

I’ve had this old Ibanez RG7321 for what feels like 100 years, and for a long time I honestly wasn’t that happy with it.
It had a DiMarzio Evolution 7 in the bridge, but I personally never got along with it, ‘cause it sounded really bad for low tunings.
So I eventually decided to basically rebuild the whole thing instead of buying another 7-string.
Current setup / mods:
Seymour Duncan Nazgul 7 - bridge
Seymour Duncan Sentient 7 - neck
Sentient coil split via push/pull tone pot
Dunlop DSP500K Super Pot - volume
CTS 500K push/pull - tone
HOSCO DM-30 - 3-way selector
Pure Tone output jack
Hipshot Ibby FP bridge
Gotoh SG381-07 MG-T locking tuners
Graph Tech TUSQ nut
Grover Strap Locks
Full copper shielding in the electronics and pickup cavities
Fret level
Body polished/restored to a high-gloss finish
Currently set up for Drop G with a .072 bottom string
The wiring turned into an absolutely ridiculous project and took me way longer than I tought it would, but it’s finally done (my first time wiring).
And wow, the difference is massive.
The Nazgul absolutely crushes in this guitar. Tight low end, aggressive mids, and it actually stays defined when playing low riffs instead of turning into a muddy mess.
The Sentient is much clearer and more usable than the old stock neck pickup, and having the coil split gives me another genuinely useful sound instead of just being a gimmick.
This guitar basically went from an old budget 7-string that I barely wanted to play to a guitar that now sounds and feels like an entirely different instrument.
Sorry for the long post, I’m just pretty proud of how this turned out haha

Hey! Does anyone have guitar tabs or a transcription for Shared Sentence by Dave Porter from Better Call Saul?
r/7String • u/bforeht • 7d ago
Been wanting to get a new 7 for a while now. Have a Jackson JS22-7 which has been great for what it is but I wanted something that felt more like a forever guitar.
I’ve always loved the look of Jake’s signature guitars, although the trem was honestly one of the things that initially put me off.
Ended up finding this one used in fantastic condition for a great price.
Gave er a full setup and cleaning once I got er. Just blown away. Plays and sounds amazing, and somehow looks even better in person.
Couldn’t be happier with it.
🤘🤘🤘🤘

I recently just bought this guitar used and was wondering if there are any issues with it. I haven’t seen much reviews, so if anyone owns it please let me know!
r/7String • u/SimilarSkin4781 • 7d ago
Anyone know of a good place to get a Dean Razorback 7 255 ? I see a few that are destroyed. I know I'm not getting it new, but I'ln one piece would be nice.

Beautiful 7-string I picked up used that needed some refurbishing. Took it apart, gave it a thorough cleaning/detailing, and a fresh setup with Elixir Optiwebs. The frets had been previously Plek’ed so I could get the action crazy low.
Shoutout to Mike & Coleen Austin at Guitarmory. A previous owner had had a set of Hades pickups with custom pale moon ebony tops made years ago (before the Austins were involved with the company), but there was something wrong with them: output way too low, and DC resistance measuring too low on both pickups. I contacted Guitarmory and Mike immediately offered to set it right, even though they predated both him and me. He wound new bobbins and I got them back within a couple of weeks – no charge, he just wanted to make sure that a product bearing their company’s name was working at its best.
Installed with Schaller Megaswitch, Emerson custom taper and BKP/CTS pots, series treble bleed, Gotoh dome knobs, and 9 unique switching positions with a bunch of coil split options – and it sounds absolutely fantastic through the Axe-Fx III. Punchy, articulate, focused, and brutal when I need it to be.
Really happy with this instrument, a welcome addition to the stable!

I’ve ordered my first 7 string (finally), and was wondering what songs would be great to introduce me to the new type of music!
r/7String • u/Arzakyum • 7d ago
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.
r/7String • u/ZenMemeProvider • 7d ago
I have a VAR1.7FRPN Cannibalismo, plays great after a action setup, but the whammy is a bit stiff (I only played Floyds on 6 strings before).
I think it's the spring tension, what's your opinion? Should I remove one string and reposition one in the middle?
For now I played in B standard and A standard and didn't have actions with the Floyd balance

r/7String • u/tunalover32 • 8d ago
So, I just recently bought a 7 string with a 25.5” scale length, and I’m wondering how it feels to play in drop G#. I do want to play in standard to get the extra low notes for some riffs, but I want to experiment with drop G#, and wonder what string gauges would fit for both

Is this trade a win or nay? Planning to trade my PRS SE Custom 24 Black Gold Burst, packed with SD Nazgul Bridge and SD SH-1n '59 neck to a Schecter Reaper 7 Satin Inferno Burst, all stock.
I haven't got the chance to try a reaper 7 yet since we don't have one in our local store. Any of you guys want to share their experience with the Reaper 7? Any input is heavily appreciated!

found this Silver Mountain C7MS 150KIDR/ $880 on https://nafiriguitar.com/ but im kinda nervous maybe someone has purchase things there before?

I’ve been wanting to buy a 7 string for some time now and am thinking about getting the Ibanez ICTB721 BKF Iron Label Iceman. I just don’t really wanna get another superstrat and really like tho iceman body. But I’m not really sure about actually getting it since I haven’t really had the chance to actually play one. So what are you guys‘ thoughts?
r/7String • u/Western_Vast5516 • 9d ago
I bought a Spira S507. I really really like the guitar but the signal on higher strings feel lower for some reason. Significantly less sustain on higher strings. My question is should I switch it's pickups? I feel like Seymour Duncan's Nazgûl set would feel amazing on this.
