    Aristides Guitars

    I don't even understand the logic with loosening the tension. If the posts were that soft, wouldn't they also develop flat spots from sitting in one position too? It reminds me of when people say you should loosen the strings on a guitar that's in storage and doesn't get played often so the neck...

    New Schecter Models Megathread

    These inlays are pretty terrible, but somehow still more acceptable to me than stuff like crosses, roman numerals, and single 12th fret blocks.

    Neck specs Jackson Pro Series Dave Davidson Warrior WR7

    C shape was also my experience with WR7s. Felt super similar to my CS Soloist 7.

    Jackson/Charvel/EVH 2024

    But then again, who would order one without a locking nut?

    The RG7 mods ultimate thread

    I'd love to participate in this thread, but I think black 7620s with the one-piece neck and stock pickups is the best RG7—or RG in general—ever made, so I have nothing to add. I'm going to enjoy following though.

    Piezo-only "electric" guitars

    I always found these interesting, never played one though

    Jackson/Charvel/EVH 2024

    I'm pretty sure the reason is that it's more expensive.

    Recommendations for a first 7 string? What's out there for a Floyded 7 that's not a used Prestige for around $1,500 USD?

    The best answer, and nice technicality around the no-used-Prestige stipulation. Far under budget too.

    What years of USA Jackson are considered the best?

    I can only speak on USAs, which I've owned an awful lot of going back to the late '90s. There will be a dud here are there from all eras, but the vast majority of the ones I've owned and played have been pretty consistently great—assuming you like the things that make a Jackson a Jackson. (For...

    Post Your GAS

    Hard to imagine not wanting a P90 7 as much as this one, but the Evertune/12th inlay/colored fretboard combo is way too much to overcome. I love seeing this though.

    Advice for drop g sharp tuning on a 6

    I keep a 25.5" 7 string in G# standard using a 64 for the low string. It works perfect for me, but I know some people like really high tension. That guitar also has a double locking trem, which is always going to hold tuning better.

    Anderson 7 strings returning

    I use a 54 gauge to tune to Bb at 25.5" scale....I don't even know what I'd at 28+ inches, but it sure wouldn't be "bigger."

    The Carvin / Kiesel thread

    "24.75" scale headless" is on the very short list of things that could get me to consider buying a Kiesel (right alongside short-scale 7 w/Floyd). Unfortunately goofy 12th fret inlays are on my list of non-starters. I think this is really cool though otherwise.

    NGD Jackson Broderick Pro Series

    My USA was pushing 12lbs—easily the heaviest electric guitar I've ever owned, including Norlin Customs.

    EBMM Abasi Kaizen

    It’s a Custom Shop SL7, and it would absolutely match the pink Kaizen—whether it did or not haha.

    EBMM Abasi Kaizen

    I've heard of them many many times, I've just never listened because that's not the kinda thing I'm into.

    EBMM Abasi Kaizen

    I know who Tosin is, but not sure I've heard him outside of demos. The main appeal to me is the 24.75” to 25.5” scale length, which has always seemed like the most logical fan for a 7, yet pretty rare. I think it looks pretty cool too—I'm sure I'll get one eventually, I've just been putting...

    Jackson/Charvel Owners Club

    I've owned a USA and played a couple Pro Series, and I thought the specific examples of Broderick imports I played really held their own. They were super heavy like the USAs, so no better or worse in that department. Same pickups, which are basically my favorite passive pickups there are—I'd...
