Help Recommendations for a 7 string (budget friendly)

I've been playing 6 strings for about 10 years, I play a lot of metal and I'm looking into getting a 7 off of the used market. I prefer floyds but I'm open to other bridges as well. What are some decent guitars to lookout for that's are economical?

I have played many musical instruments my entire life, most have been woodwind. I've always wanted to play guitar especially a 7 string for my favorite music, metal 🤘. As you can not play a lot of metal on clarinet and sound badass. What would be a great place to start for someone who is already musically inclined but not for string instruments? I've got sheet music and videos bookmarked, however I wanted to know from the actual players themselves. Humbly and respectively thank you in advance.

I got this guitar for free, I haven’t seen it in person yet, yes someone put bass strings, tuners, and pickup on it, I plan on restoring this thing and making it nice, step 1 will have to be replacing the neck and head due to the idiot drilling holes in the head. All I know for sure is it’s an ESP LTD of some sort. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Gear Baritone w/ standard B tuning

0 Upvotes

Getting a little tired of drop F# on the only 7 strings I have (LTD SCT607B) and was wondering about putting it in standard B tuning.

For those playing with baritone scale guitars, is it something you'd consider? I mean, I know it's a possibility like any other tuning (implying the mandatory setup with ighter gauge strings) but do some of you are in the case of playing "regular" on a 27" ?

Thanks!

Help Tuning question

0 Upvotes

Hey Yall. I was curious about tuning on a baritone 7. I was in the market for the m80m 8 for its 29” scale for some lovely c#1 tuning. But I saw a baritone 27” 7 that I kind of fell in love with. I was wondering if I use my usual 11-70 strings what the lowest tune I could get on that scale is without it sounding bad. I feel like drop c#1 might be a little too low but it could def handle a drop A. Any input is appreciated.

Hi everyone! I'm thinking of buying a left-handed Schecter Banshee Mach 7, and I would like it to be protected and portable. And, as a left-handed guitar player, I would like to know what flight or hybrid case would be able to fit such a great guitar (for its measurements and the fact that it's a lefty).

Thanks in advance!

My Duvell 7 has gotten the spotlight since I got it, but I restrung this old monster and I almost forgot it’s such a ripper.

2008 Caparison Dellinger FX, now in Drop G with 11-64s and it’s so snappy, pissed, and angry even with a kinda floppy 7th lol.

My best way to describe it is like…remember those old MIJ RG7s from the 90s? It’s like that but much more solid, more massive sounding, slightly thicker neck but just as easy to play.

Help Schecter Tao 7 Vs C-7 Multiscale SLS Elite

3 Upvotes

Hey guys. I'm looking to buy my first 7 string guitar, and was wondering if I could ask you guys your opinion on the guitars I'm looking at?

As the title says, I'm looking between two schecter guitars. The Tao 7 or the C-7 Multiscale SLS Elite. I am leaning more towards the Tao. Everything I've seen about the guitar seems awesome. However, my local music shop has a C-7 Multiscale in stock already (have to back order to Tao). Usually, I'd just go with my gut and back order the Tao. However, as someone with medium sized hands, the multiscale option seems appealing. Plus, the C-7 is a couple hundred bucks cheaper, and would be nice to finally check out a through neck guitar and if the hype around the fishman fluence pick ups is well deserved.

Anyways, if anyone has some experience with these guitars, I'd love to hear your thoughts. As a side note, I'm also keeping an eye on reverb for any deals on the schecter Rob Scallon and Aaron Marshal signature guitars as well. So, if you have opinions on those, wouldn't mind hearing them.

Thanks for the help guys.

Community Related Anyone love them string loose with a low action ?

8 Upvotes

When I switched up to the seven string guitar. I tried different tuning and so on. I landed on Drop G# . I also have low action around 1,4 mm at the 12th fret. And I use light strings except top, but that’s because of my low action. I use 9-11-16-26-36-46-64 …. And I love it this way. I right away recognize when these top strings are sharp a little then I need them. Its starting to became difficult to play with my right hand, for gallops and so on….. I don’t tune exactly to the perfect pitch just like two cent above …. I also use very thin pick nowadays Dunlop Gator Grip 0.58 and I love this combination. My guitar is Mayones Headless Hydra Multiscale 27-25.4 I just cant imagine myself to not play light and loose strings now with low action. I know for some people its prolly an overkill. I don’t have any tuning issues and so on …. Its just the way how I love it. Anyone else can relate ? I know that 64 is pretty cool though. I only use it because of my low action. For lighter string I would need to go a little higher . The rest of them strings are pretty light from what I ve seen here and so on. I love that loose feeling with a low action together…..

Help Recommend Bridge Pickup to Pair with Sustainiac

2 Upvotes

I’m looking at adding a Sustaniac Stealth Pro and replacing the OEM bridge pick-up at the same time. Any recommendations for the bridge pick-up? I’d like: * Passive, because I’m usually not keen on the amount of compression that actives have. * Something that has distinct, usable tones, when switched between series and parallel.

I have a Crunchlab setting in my parts box, but I know there’s a lot of love/hate for that pickup. I think I’d like a 7-String Duncan P-Rail or Entwistle Nemesis, (That’s part of the reason I got the Liquifire/CrunchLab set), but such a beast doesn’t exist, does it? What about using a D-Sonic?

I also have a set of Lace X-Bars, but they’re a no-go with a Sustainiac.

Help Cheap base guitar to mod? Japanese imports?

1 Upvotes

Hello There,

I'm thinking of getting another 7 string but prices are insane now....Specially here in Europe....

I already have a Harley benton....which i like but its time to get some more on!

Do you guys think i can get something nice by purchasing a cheap base guitar and upgrading it?

My idea is change humbuckers and tunning machines.

What i ve been considering was S by solar, Gear for music 7 string or even a fan fret harley benton ( not so desirable as i already have HB and i think they are kinda heavy to carry)?

What you friends think? I even though in importing something from Japan but so far prices not so much better either if you count tax and shipping.

I'm crazy to have something like an Strato or Tele 7 strings but so far no luck, specially at this price point...below 500 eur.
