Adjusting to a 7 string?

glad you like it :)

I took off the electric power lines and Stuck some 10-46 + a 56 on it and tuned it to Eb - much prefer it that way  8)

:lol:

I suppose 15-70 in G is an aquired taste

I know this sounds a bit melodramatic after only a few hours play but having a 7 has been a $%&#ing revelation... it feels more comfortable than a 6 and sounds awesome... why haven't I tried one until now! Other than sometimes forgetting that the E isn't the low string anymore it's been no problem to swap.

I didnt find the transition a trouble either

I just found that I wasnt writing any better or more interesting music on 7 strings than 6

I guess if you already tune as low as B then it's not as big a deal but as I live in std or Eb the lower register has a lot of novelty

out of curiosity, what did you end up buying?

MDVs old RG7321 - not a 'killer' guitar but a great introduction into 7's and it will tide me over whilst I have a decent 7 built :)
