I'd just get a couple actual amps and DI them with redwirez :shrug: the carvin BX1500 with some pedals should do pretty much anything you could ask of it for less than $1k for everything.

well, it looks okay i guess...:rolleyes: brb while i hang myself, that thing is gorgeous.

get Kezia from Protest the Hero, that album is beautiful. having the lyrics on you when you listen the first couple times helps a lot.

I know everybody probably knows about this and it's not the same, etc., but

HNGD, it's a beauty.

I never thought I'd get GAS for something that looks like the physical incarnation of cancer, but by god those are beautiful.

I think it depends on the person more than anything. You either work well with a fanned-fret or you don't - I'd be more worried about "buying blindly" with a fan than an 8-string, and would definitely be looking to try something similar to your scale stretch. That being said, it's unlikely that...

You need a DAW like Reaper or Cubase to record, and you should preferably buy an audio interface (like these)to plug into your computer through a USB.

You might need to file the nut/widen the tuning pegs if the strings are too thick, but try using a tension calculator. As long as the tension is relatively similar, the adjustment really won't be too drastic. Still, if you don't know how to set up a guitar, you might want to take it to a tech...

You can go grab a bite, and you'll still be hearin' that one :lol: Congrats, and shame on you for not giving it your time before :nono: it's a beauty, and I usually hate LPs

It's just too much of a tone-suck to justify it. I'd sound better getting a cheap $300 guitar and tuning it to an odd tuning than getting a good pitch shifter, and do just that for that very reason.

Just gonna throw out, since they were at Guitar Center...were they properly set-up? A lot of it is down to ergonomic feel, but I absolutely cannot play those wall guitars that haven't been properly cleaned in 3 years, no matter the quality of the guitar's potential. E: missed Necris' post...

Certain forums just have people who go towards certain flavors. As this is sevenstring.o, naturally Schecter/Ibanez/Agile and other dealers who have a decent amount of 7-strings will have representation over strats and the like. That's why there are so many people with custom guitars - ERGs are...

One of Chris Broderick's Jackson custom 6s. I don't know why it appeals to me so much. As for guitars I've actually played, my half-brother has an American '86 Kramer that his dad gave him, and from what research I can do it seems one of a kind and plays just perfectly to me. I really wish I...

You've been playing 6 string for 14 years but haven't learned to build chords and assemble scales based on the major/minor scales? You can either learn those through basic theory and fully immerse yourself, or you can play Loomis style and use it as a 6 string with a chug string at the bottom...

I won't say they're not versatile, but it's hard to get a way from a certain "twang" Teles have. If you love it, perfect, but most people don't.

Well, in the lower/middle price range of guitars, there's a lot of variation of quality. You might have found a gem of a 7321 and only an average 7620. I'd say the first step would be to have it set-up. Get the frets level, oil the fretboard, polish the body, replace or clean the screws...

Damn, it's a shame they're being so stingy. I can't think of a set of Dimarzios I'd quote as $400 :nuts: It's worth looking at that $500 one, though. Even with shipping and tax it'd come out under $600 should you still like the sound and feel, and even with a nice p-up replacement and a set-up...

A good retubing apparently helps a lot with this, so a set of JJs (or whatever your preferred brand may be) would certainly be something to consider

I think it was a review of an 8-string custom somewhere or another where I read this: With the lower frequencies (less-so but still prevalent on a 7), thick bodies actually resonate the bass to the point of muddiness. The thin-ness helps keep the low end tight without actually detracting from...
