Ahh... Working on getting one now.
i feel bad for you man, i can play a 6 and a 7 equally well and love them both.
The only difference is not one string, but the whole shape of the neck (as well as string spacing). And for some people it just throws them off. I mean, like I said earlier I have a pretty hard time with this, but I could go back to playing 6's. The thing is that I would just have to play them a lot to get used to them again. I'm not one of those people who can just from guitar to another guitar and feel at home on them. I play the best on my stuff and what I spend the most time on. I think thats what the thread starter was talking about. So I don't think he meant he "can't play 6's" anymore is the literal sense, but more in the "I'm not comfortable with them" way.
That was much easier to adjust too though. I'm curious, which 6 did you play that had a similar neck to a 7?
I can seem to switch fine, though i won't even consider buying 6s again till i get a decent job with a nice ammount of disposable income.
Having played 7s since 2003-2004, and then working at a guitar store that had 1 sevenstring in stock the whole 2 years i worked there, and jamming at friend's places on acoustics keeps me able to player 6ers.
