Thanks for the insight! I have checked for high spots and there were two indeed, hence the action comments. My tech has done a lot of 8 strings so I trust him. The relief is decent, dual truss rods are working really good. I will check out the radius tip though for sure. A very happy (and...
Pics first! Not a bad quilt top for an Indo Ironing board looking ahh BIG headstock, should I unwind the low C# ? I am afraid it will unwind the whole string, but I am sure it's not right as is :scratch: And a night pic with better focus! The good: This thing is hilarious, it's sooo much...
Welp, after a decade (!) of wanting a nine string I finally caved in and got one for 600€ semi-locally, waiting on it to arrive tomorrow-next week (will def post a NGD). I have over a decade of pitch-shifted ideas to re-record, I haven't been that excited to play guitar in a very very long time...
Morbid Angel! Pretty accessible for death metal, very cool riffs, solos are psychedelic EVH worship to the max, that's what got many of us into 7s so worth a shot. Otherwise Dream Theater ? Idk, listing some bands you like could help, but the 7 string world has a lot of cool music to offer. By...
These particular ones were made by iconic guitars until BC screwed the pooch on their end of the deal IIRC. Should be quality enough, link speaks of damages so I'd be very careful. I have a 6 string IB and sitting down classical position it's the most comfortable guitar I own (better than a...
Aaah love those KK ESPs, I've been wanting one of the plain black ones for a very long time. Perfect V shape and diamond inlays. The prices are absurd but come on look at it, it would kick ass for some C# death metal.
Fat chance ever finding one but my pointy fever is in fuuull swing lately, this looks so badass. I wish RAN was still operational, I'd definitely order a copy. (ESP RS320)
Man I don't even care about the lack of Floyd. Stainless steel frets and 27 inch scale ? Might have found a new drop F guitar to replace my GOC and have all pointy 6ers.
My top 3, each are for their own reason. 1 - Ibanez, the range of models over the years and strong second hand market being key reasons aside from playability, I don't care much for their 6s but their MIJ 7s all feel like home and if you search enough you'll find what you want, half the fun of...
I had them in an RG7321 many moons ago and I remember really liking them. I freaking love the sentient though, shred city. I am still dialing in the Pegasus, with the Otto II II II II amp and my personal ENGL 4X12 IRs it's getting there, I just have to downpick like hell. Might just change to...
I had to shim the neck for the pickguard and it hasn't been playing as good since to be honest, it sounds incredible with the blazes don't get me wrong but it has a certain clunk that the RGD doesn't have, maybe it's the honeymoon period but I love both a lot.
Pics first! Hey everyone, after 10 years of lusting over the RGD2127Z-ISH I finally got one, holy smokes what a guitar, compared to my 1527 it's like driving a supercar after years of driving an economy sedan. Found it used locally for 950€ with Seymour Duncan Pegasus and Sentient pickups...
Seeing how you are coming from strong 6 string bases I'd personally just play stuff I know well on the top 6 strings to get used to proper muting of the 7th and then move on to 7 string songs. Love your little snake friend, so awesome!
My two current Xs, one is a bone stock WRXT Jackson with 10-52s (C#) and the ironbird was originally a single hum body art model that I've modded to hell with EMGs (81-85) and a Kahler (stock 7300) with 10-46s (D#). Currently looking at getting a pointy RS body made for a kahler loaded JH-200...
I am well aware of that but extremely unfortunately I live in Greece and for some odd reason they just won't ship the damn thing, I might have to talk with the local Ibanez dealers.
This guy's been my main squeeze since last year, small dot 1527, blaze set, rewired for H-S-H. Pretty much a more modern universe thingie. I am looking into changing the trem as it has been through the ringer, does anyone know any replacement? I'm also thinking about having an ash body built...
My main rig has been: Modded RG1527->audient id22->neural DSP fortin nameless. Don't need much else. I find peace in decent plugins. I'm a guitar player not an amp player.
