    Thanks!. I am after clean tones though. Schecter Banshee 7 Extreme seems to currently tick most of my boxes

    7 string ok for beginners?

    Yes, but no trem and hot pickups, where I want vintage. What looks very tempting, especially for the money is the Schecter Banshee 7 Extreme CB. Tremolo can be refitted and I'll have to live without the fanfret. That bears the question about pulling the high notes - doable? What kind of gauge...

    7 string ok for beginners?

    Solar 7 strings seem to be costing over 1k$. What about the Dean MAB-7X Michael Angelo Batio CB , even though it has 25.5 string length, or the Ibanez RGMS7-BK Multiscale? The Dean is tempting due to less loud pickups and tremolo. Another option seems to be the Schecter Banshee 7 Extreme BCHB...

    7 string ok for beginners?

    https://www.thomann.de/ie/dean_guitars_mab_7x_michael_angelo_batio_cb.htm looks decent with pickups that aren't overly violent and a trem. But 25.5" scale length? Or the Ibanez RGMS7-BK Multiscale? Change pickups now, fit trem later?

    7 string ok for beginners?

    *g*, my profile says Ireland. where London isn't ;) Thomann is more or less the best option, since I am aiming to get most of my kit form there. And the Cort seems the next best option if I want fanfret which seems to be the rational thing with a 7 string. Since the HB had really crappy pickups...

    7 string ok for beginners?

    Wrong guy - my kink is Knopfler, The Edge, Gilmoure up to AC/DC. I just jumped into the thread. The reason the Thomann guy gave was really poor quality control. I am now looking at a Cort KX500MS. But that basically means that it won't be my first ...

    7 string ok for beginners?

    Also beginner here. Currently learning on a classic guitar and looking for my first electric. Looking at the Harley Benton R-457 WH Fanfret (sorry, not allowed to post link) where the pickups are reportedly utter sh*te, so they'd need replacing immediately.

    8 string with high A tuning

    for a high A fanfret, what would be good? 24" ... 27"? I don't want the B string to get too heavy.

    15 inch cabinet

    total newbie Q: I am pondering an 8string "super strat" (HSS) in B1 ... A4 tuning and am looking at getting a small valve amp and a 15" cab to accommodate the deeper notes. Does this sound like any kind of sense?
