Sorry if this topic has been addressed in previous threads. In my experiences with EMG 81's (and I assume the 81-7 as well), they do not clean up well when rolling the volume knob back while playing with a distorted sound compared to a passive like the Evo7, which cleans up nicely. I get an...

I was in a recording session the other day, and I brought my Les Paul (6-string) with a 81 in the bridge and 85 in the neck. The music was light rock, and the songwriter wanted a semi-clean rhythm sound on the bridge pickup so I picked the JCM 800 sound on my Line 6 HD 147 and rolled the volume...

I know the subject of scale length has been tossed around many times and the general consensus is that 25.5 is the recommended minimum scale length for a 7-string, but has anyone played a 25.0 inch scale 7-string? How was the tone? How was the intonation on the upper frets?

I've considered Schecter guitars. They sell them at the shop I work at. The necks all feel like baseball bats compared to my UV. I can't deal with that. My UV spoiled me.

What about going the Warmoth route, buying the individual pieces and having them put together? The only problem I see is that their 7-string necks aren't made to fit in their LP style bodies. Also, the guitar would have to be a bolt-on, which I could deal with for live purposes.

I've been recording a demo over the last few months using my Les Paul Standard and UV777BK, which I've had since 1998. Everything is coming out fine, however, the music will be impossible to pull off live without a 7-string guitar. Some of you are probably saying right now, "Well, you've...

Oh, man. That's awesome. Thanks, D-EJ915!

Tone: The tone is very well rounded. Very nice balance of highs, mids, and lows. The stock pickups (Dimarzio Blaze), however, do not offer too much clarity. I replaced the bridge pickup for an Dimarzio Evolution 7. I have no complaints since then, but I wouldn't say it's a great...

I was wondering from those of you that have gotten ESP customs made how specific will they customize a neck for you. I currently own an Ibanez UV777BK, and I would like the specific dimensions of that neck (except that it have 22 frets instead of 24) to be put on an Eclipse body. Most 7-string...

Incarnation, thanks so much for the pics.

Has anyone seen, played, or have photos they can post of an ESP Eclipse 7-string? I've seen only 2 references made to this type of guitar even existing on these forums. I would specifically like information on the neck scale (I know Eclipse 6-strings usually come with a 24.75 scale neck) and...

Does anyone know of any single-cutaway 7-strings? I haven't seen any out there. Thanks.
