Can't wait until it gets here! :twisted:
-
I'm not into 7 strings, but that look DAMN nice!
-
Lovely jubbley =)
-
damn that looks like a pretty mean axe,
how the hell do they sell it for so cheap?
-
Yep, very nice. I love the finish.
-
pardon my newbieshness but how does a 27 baritone sound different from 25.5 scale?
Is it just the longer scale providing extra tension so you can down-tone lower than normal?
p.s. the more i look at that the more GAS starts accumulate
-
Tony (Transcend) is going to envy you so much. lol..
-
ahh i've been eyeing that one up as my first delve into 7 strings for a while now. it looks f*ckin nice. looking forward to hearing how it plays.
-
sifu, would you do us a favor and give a little review on how it sounds and plays? And how does it compare to some other 7s if you can, like the ESP LTD stephen carpenter 7 baritone or ibanez 7s.
-
It's my first 7 string, but rest assured I will tell you ALL about it :D
-
Please do!

If I remember correctly, a baritone is tuned to B... I think... ?

You know me so well, thats one of the guitars i was thinking about getting but decided against a 7 string.
I can tell everyone on here that agiles play amazingly and sound amazing, the price just makes them that much sweeter :)

Having said that Stef carpenter tuned down to F# on his 7 string baritones before he got his 8's which hes going to tune down to E!!!!! for the new album. :twisted:

C-A-B-B-A-G-E
just for novelty value

I'm not really a maple board guy, and if they want to sell guitars with EBONY boards for that little, who am I to argue?
-
just noticed their seven strings have a 27" scale length. is this normal for seven strings or are these baritone models? i thought it was just an extra string...
-
It depends really. A lot of 7 strings now are 27ish, Ibanez being the big trend bucker (except on it's Korn models). A B string is a B string at the end of the day, wether it's 6 or 7 strings, so it becomes something of a trade off, stability of the B string Vs bending of the upper strings, although of course the increased length means you could put very light unwound strings on with little difficulty. I personally don't feel a huge difference between 24.75 and 25.5 when it comes to bending, so I'm hoping 27 won't be a problem.

However
24.75" - 25.5" = 0.75"
24.75" - 27" = 2.25"
25.5" - 27" = 1.5"
I'm sure you took that into consideration though.
