    PAF style 7 string set.

    I like my Agile 7, but I don't like the pickups. I like the GFS Crunchy PAT pickups on my guitars, but they don't do 7-string options.

    Where do you all get your strings?

    I generally run with EB as a baseline. If the strings I'm looking for aren't available LaBella or D'Addario are on the short list. If I want a custom set, I default to StringJoy. I'm not super picky. I'm generally more interested in gauges relative to strings, the exception being my 6-string...

    Cheap 8-strings @ Rondo

    https://www.rondomusic.com/8StringGuitars.html If you're looking at a mod platform outside the RG8, they have the Hadean ELS 8's back in stock. If you decide to swap pickups, I'm pretty sure they're more of a bass pickup and had to mod the pickup cavity in the neck and bridge facing sides for...

    ERG Country?

    I prefer metal, but, I'm really enjoying playing along with other genres. I'm just curious if there are any country musicians that regularly use a 7+, not including a lap steel guitar I have my lone 8-string in FA#FA#D#FA#D#, because of Monuments, but I'm seeing this become pretty versatile.

    27” scale length sevens

    Agile has a ton of 27" 7-strings. ESP (and LTD equivalents) tend to be the next most plentiful option.

    Most/Least Favorite Christmas Songs?

    Agreed. I have gotten a few thoughts of how to make some humorous. Like "Silver Bells" becomes "Go to Hell", and the WHAM! "Last Christmas" is just some schmuck sobbing through the song and at the end you hear a bang. I'm just glad my company isn't blasting multiple variations of "Jingle...

    How to get used to playing different guitars?

    I enjoy my collection, but I've also been taking a look/feel at the action--and I need to tweak my Squire HSS. I guess the overall would be make sure you've set your guitars up well along with playing them to make sure they stay that way if you need to get a feel on it.

    Songs you enjoy playing

    So, what songs are you folks having fun playing/learning? Right now, I'm on an Amaranthe kick, and winging the bass line, and same with radio rock stuff like Papa Roach.

    Chaoseum?

    I haven't researched them a ton, but I do like the Korn vibes. I'm not expecting them to be a doppelganger for Korn, so if they don't diverge at some point, it won't bode well. Also, I'm a big Korn fan.

    I've tried a lot of guitar picks and I can't find one I'm 100% happy with...

    Have you tried the Dunlop JP Custom Jazz III?

    What tunings do you use?

    Update: I've been working for a helicopter sound. The AADF#AD (and I assume shifting) works very well, especially using single coil pickups. Using a Squier Bullet with a GFS Crunchy PAT bridge. I'm also exploring some Monuments tabs.
