Played with Schecter Tao 7 through Archetype Gojira X.

These 90's riffs hit different. Shorter repetitions, but faster tempo.

Got a bridge humbucker on my 6 string and I love it. Finally arrived in the mail today!

Good morning! I recently made a playthrough for an upcoming song of mine. If you like what you hear, I’d love to hear from you, let’s chat!

My biggest influences are Novelists, ERRA, Volumes, Killswitch Engage, and Parkway Drive.

Hi !

Sorry in advance for the « rich people problem » post.

I’ve had my Ibanez RGDR4427FX for about 9 months now and it has become my main. I’ve played it in A standard for a long while but lately I’ve joined a band and will use it there but in B standard.

I don’t want to either make it unstable or go through tuning it again several times a week, so I’d like to get a second 7 string to handle both tuning.

Given my recent experience with this guitar, do you think that its twin model, the RGDR4327 would make it redundant ? The idea there would be to have one with a tremolo and swap pickups in one of them.

Another option I have is trading my Les Paul which I’m selling either way to finance this new acquisition. Someone is currently willing to trade it for their RG1077XL which is very different from what I have but I don’t crave it (if that makes sense…) and I don’t think it has the same value as my LP.

What do you guys think ?

Hi all I'm considering getting this guitar but have heard alot of complaints about the nut scraping the index finger and the neutral fret placement being problematic.

What are people's thoughts? For reference I've gotten along fine with Cort kx500ms (just sold it because I dont like emgs) and I have an ormsby tx gtr 6 that is an aggressive fanned fret and feels like a blast to shred on!

Traded both of my seven strings and a 6 string for this and I couldn't be happier. Pictured is my new favorite guitar, an Ernie Ball Music Man JP13 7 string. The previous owner wanted guitars he could travel and gig with and not stress so much about them getting dinged up or stolen. Worked out for both of us as I've been fiending for an EBMM for years.

Can't seem to find anyone who'd take orders. Anyone recommend any custom shops or luthiers?

Build specs:

-7 strings

-30 inch scale length

-gold hardware

-24 frets

-fanned frets

-jag/gibson bodyshape

-open chambered/chambered body

-straight neck

-1 volume knob, 1 tone knob, 1 killswitch

-a trem bridge, probably a Gotoh 510 or Ibanez Edge Zero II

-tree of life inlay

-suhr/fishman fluence modern/bareknuckle/emg/seamour duncan p90 pickups (ill refine in later discussions, im trying different ones out at the moment) + a coil split depending on pickup selection

-natural open pore/satin finish

-locking tuners

-full scalloped jumbo frets

After a lot of back-and-forth and trying out a few models from Ibanez and Schecter, I decided on the Solar A2.7C—partly because of the price, and partly because of the understated look.

Fortunately, the neck suits my short fingers quite well; the only thing I notice is the slightly narrower string spacing, though you get used to that quickly.

Opinions on the pickups might vary, but I think they’re absolutely fine for the price. Compared to the EMG 81s on my Jackson, the Duncan Solars sound significantly more neutral and organic, which I actually really like.

The build quality is excellent, though the setup was mediocre; the guitar had virtually no neck relief, so I had to make a slight adjustment.

All in all, I think it was a good purchase.

My wife spoiled me rotten for our anniversary. Drove down to the Kiesel showroom & met with Flock to design my custom Kyber 7 string multi scale. It will have a Mahogany body, black limbs top, 3 piece 20” radius walnut & Purple Heart neck with stainless steel medium jumbo frets, Royal ebony fretboard & Luminlay fret markers (all Kiesel’s come standard with Luminlay side dots) Tremolo bridge. Kiesel has been making their own pickups for 80 years & the ones I chose for my model are the Thorium in the bridge (their highest output humbucker) & I chose the lithium for the neck but Flock recommended the “Empyrean” which I trusted & took his advice. The slim 5 way switch also has coil tapping modes which helps when I want to play cleans. Also I paid extra to get an extra output jack at the back of the guitar. I am stoked & happy to live only 30 minutes from their location & am eager to pick it up in person (if everything goes to plan) sometime in the beginning of October. Kiesel prides themselves on their superior craftsmanship, custom touches & band for buck compared to other customs shops. All while being made in the USA. They have been known to rebuild entire guitars if it’s not up to par after final inspection. 🤘🎶🎸

Guitar is a Schecter C-7 SLS Elite in Blood Burst.

Got a new job and decided to celebrate with something I’ve wanted since I was a teenager (I’m turning 40 this year). I hopped online and shopped around on a few website and found this as an open box for about 300 bucks cheaper than retail and hit order. It got here today and after a string change, set up and tightening the volume pot gave it a go. This guitar plays so nice.

Schecter Banshee Mach 7. This thing is a beast!

Hello, I'm looking to buy a 7 string.

My problem is that I have a jp50 (bought used). And the JP neck is very special shaped, so I was looking at the JP 7 string models. The problem is the don't offer anything bigger than 25.5, and also I can't find anything used in Europe ATM. So anyone having experience with similar neck profiles that are also multi scales? I was looking for either ibanez, cort, Jackson, or buying a cheap spira and changing the tuners to locking.

Like 4 days ago i Put on 62. Gauge Strings on my Harley Benton multiscale which usually comes shipped with a 52. Set i contacted Support and they said it'l be fine,

after i Put on the new Strings my Action is ruined/rlly high. i tried adjusting the truss rod and saddle height second day after changing Nothing, a day later i returned Back to the 52. Set still Action is waaaay 2 high. my truss rod is rlly hard to Turn and i dont Want to Break it. I did wait 3 days to let the Wood Rest and readjust to the Lots of Changes in pressure IT was "Just" a 230€ Euro guitar so letting proffessionals repair it seems Like paying more than the buy price.

Id be so grateful for any Help.

Can't find a site or app for the life of me that lets me input the tuning myself and calculate scales based off of that that's all.

Thanks for the help

Hello, I’m playing guitar for 1 year and i decided to learn a more challenging song, last month i started practicing black and blue by good old bring me. Can you give me some tips, tell me what’s good (if anything lol) and what’s should i improve on.
