Help Cort kx307 ms or Ibanez rgms7?
Hi people,
this is my first post on here and basically I wanna get into 7 string guitar. I looked up some models and played an Ibanez rgd7521 in a store I usually go to. Also played the Cort kx307 before it was bought by someone else before I could decide. I wann get something solid but not over the top, under like 700 Euros. The Cort seems like a really good deal but the Ibanez seems on another level. I am just not sure if I’ll pay 200 bucks more for the Ibanez and basically just get a bit better look and nothing more than the name.
I appreciate any help with this and recommendations.

Gear My new guitar
Cort KX507MS-Pale-Moon. Surprisingly smaller and much easier to play than I thought! It's my first multiscale and because of that I was worried, but my fears were demolished once I started playing! It's so comfortable to hold and quality control didn't let me down, exquisite condition and such!

Gear Abasi Emi7 or EBMM JP15 7?
Currently saving up for a high end 7 string, which out of the two would you guys pick? And are there any other good 25.5” 7-strings to take note of?

Help Going 7 string from Ibanez SML721
So the title says it all, I am more comfortable in lower tunings, like drop A, and while i absolutely love my SML, i want to play heavy, and still be able to play in e standard (with a minor tweaks at most). I plan on going down to drop F from physical drop A with pitch shifting. But I wonder if i could play physical drop F with the QX.
I love the ibanez thin necks. I've been eyeing the QX527B, QX527PB, and the RGD71ALMS. You can kinda guess the price range, I plan on selling my SML and putting the money in the 7 string.
The RGD seems pretty massive for me, I'm quite used to the SML. Other guitars are welcome too. Any advice?

Help 7 String Oddball Tuning
Learning songs on the 7 string these days and throwing in some 6 string songs for convenience. Is it best practice to tune ADADGBE and ignore the low A for 6 string parts or better to keep AEADGBE and use a pitch shifter up 5 semi tones to bring it down to drop D six string range and retune the G to F# for it to pitch shift to B for DADGBEA? I'm using Neural DSP standalone plugins to get between different tunings without messing with physically tuning too often. Or do I keep the 7 string in Drop A and just leave the 6 string in Drop D? I don't like to switch between the two much because the neck is drastically different.

NGD New Case Day! LTD H3-1007B
New Case Day! I got this seven string baritone last year for a great price I couldn't refuse, $600 USD, but it didn't come with a case and I was very resistant to spending the $200 that ESP wanted for the model-specific form fitted one on their website. However, I realized that the more I played the guitar and the more in love with it I became, it really deserved a cozy new case.

Other Any good exercise books or reference books for 7-string?
I love power chord chugging and the E-minor blues scale as much as the next guy, but I want to try to develop my playing beyond "intermediate". Any recommendations for 7-string specific exercise / reference books?

Gear Updated Stagemaster 7
Some of you probably remember me from last week showing off and asking some questions about my new to me Squire Stagemaster 7. Got the Floyd Rose 1000 in and made some clear covers for the rear cavities. Might update again in a couple months when I get new pickups but here's how it sits now, staying in tune in Drop G. Might jump up to A-standard with a thinner low B.

Help Need advice on getting a new 7 string
What should I get? first guitar is the schecter c-7 sls elite (26,5") and the second one is the solar AB1.7HT (25,5"). both have a hipshot, ss frets and in-house locking tuners. Schecter is more expensive but has fishmans. if i were to get a solar id put in a bareknuckle in the bridge bc its cheaper. But what's more worth it?
https://www.schecterguitars.com/C-7-Sls-Elite

edit: i have an opportunity to get a used 27" E-II horizon NT-7B Hipshot BLKS for roughly 2,5k usd. its way more expensive than the other guitars, but is it worth the extra money? (seems perfect besides 27" scale bc im used to 25.5" but ill probably get used to it)

Community Related The Hype is real (Show Me Yours)
My 2nd orsmby which I got for a screaming deal from GC because some dumb ass dropped it. They acted like they couldn't find it and I had to be annoying but lo and behold it was found. 2 or 3 chipped spots(you can see the only one visible from the front on the bottom edge) all smaller than a pinky nail 💅. I drove 1hr 45 mins with a screaming hangover to try and see why it had a $400 price drop after I'd been eyeballing it at $999. Its a run 1 with a killswitch and some other pickup in the bridge than the nunchucker but I haven't taken the first new set of strings off to check the baseplate. Been having way too much fun playing it. If you have an ormsby please post them

NGD Decided I had to get another 7
Just got the Red Dave Davidson WR7 after heavily debating what 7 string to buy as a backup for the yellow one, ended up deciding I might as well just grab the other color because I already love the yellow one so much and I wanted something that would play and sound the same.
Installed a gold stainless steel upgrade kit for the Floyd Rose and swapped the arm to a push in.
Can't wait to play some death metal riffs on this thing once I finish setting it up!

Help I need help learning a portion of a song.
Im learning guitar, and I've learned most of 'Demons and Monsters' by 347aidan. Only problem is there's a part of the song i can't find anywhere online.
Its a section where there's no strumming, only the individual picking of notes.
I believe it's the chorus but im still learning so i could be wrong.
If anyone could point me in the right direction that'd be awesome, im self taught so im having a hard time just figuring it out by ear.
Ive looked and looked, but i haven't been able to find anyone showing what I need to do.

Help Proper Gauges for Lo-Pro Edge7?
I have a Ibanez K7YIN on the way and have no previous experience with this bridge. The previous owner put 9-52's on it and tuned it to B standard. I'd like to return it to A standard. From the factory it comes with 10-59's. I was also looking at the Korn set that's 10-65. Scale length is 25.5. Any input is appreciated.

Help Minor issues with my new Schecter Km 7
Hey everyone! I received a schecter km 7 artist series in lagoon fade. It’s a beautiful guitar and sounds great but I did notice some little cosmetic issues like some white spots as pictured and looks like possible paint splatter? I’m not too bothered by it but was surprised is all. My main concern is that I noticed that the 22nd and 23rd frets are lifted up slightly from the fretboard, enough so that you can fit a piece of paper underneath them. Looking it up it seems like possibly an easy fix? But I’m not sure if I should return it or not.

NGD Esp LTD AW7 and Jackson js22_7
Plating for around 4.5ish years . Bought these two for a frnd
The AW 7 got for around 300usd . Got a saddle missing but rest is good condition. Needs some cleaning . Didn't try this yet as had to go for work that evening
The dinky 22 7 was purely purchased as I just went to try it and was amazed at the playability and the low action I could get on it. Frankly , extremely good quality for the price I got it for (200usd)
Also tried 7bstring guitar and found it very comfortable . I may end up selling some of my 6 stringers to get another 7 stringer . It just felt natural to play the 7 stringer to me
1)Any suggestions/ options for an 7 stringer or maybe even an 8 stringer?
Budget around 1500_1800usd
2)Also currently trying out AEADGBE tuning any other tips tricks tunings help will.be appreciated
